Monaco spent the 1960s selling glamour as economic policy. 🛥 After Prince Rainier III married Grace Kelly in 1956, Monaco spent the next decade turning royal publicity into a global luxury brand. Monte-Carlo’s casino, Hotel de Paris, marina, and Grand Prix fixed the principality in the jet-set imagination while Rainier expanded tourism, banking, and real estate. Aristotle Onassis controlled Société des Bains de Mer, owner of the Monte Carlo Casino and major hotels, from 1953 until Monaco diluted his stake in 1966 and he sold out in 1967. The glamour of 1960s Monaco was also an economic strategy for a microstate with limited land and outsized visibility. #Monaco #MonteCarlo #PrinceRainierIII #PrincessGrace #RivieraHistory
