message: Why is it not explained why this guy was a prince and not a king if he supposedly ruled this country?  --2600:6C65:747F:CD3F:48B4:C674:C57E:310F (talk) 21:18, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

thread_title: Prince and not King? 

message: Prince Rainier III did not join the Free French Army until July 1944, several weeks after D-Day. He did serve in Alsace during the Battle of the Bulge. He then served as liaison to the general staff of the US 36th Infantry Division ("Texas Rangers") in Strasbourg, largely due to his fluent English. Sometime following the German surrender on May 7, 1945 he was transferred to the French Military Mission in Berlin with the rank of colonel until January 1947 [Source: Edwards, Anne; The Grimaldis of Monaco; New York; William Morrow; 1992; pp. 211-212 of the first edition] Dick Kimball (talk) 15:05, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Early Life 

message: Gisèle Pascal was not diagnosed as infertile by a physician. It was malicious gossip spread by Prince Rainier's treasonous sister Princess Antoinette (known as "Tiny") in one of her earliest attempts to usurp the rule of Monaco for her own son, Christian (known as "Buddy" and the ring bearer at Prince Rainier's religious marriage ceremony to Grace Kelly).

thread_title:  Early Romance 

message: An old friend of mine, who uses crutches to walk, won the Prix de Composition Musicale Prince Pierre de Monaco some years ago.  He later told me that, at a buffet hosted in his honor by Rainier, the prince himself carried his plate through the buffet.  I doubt that this can be authenticated appropriately for the encyclopedia article, but I thought I would mention it here as a testiment to the prince's character.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.184.95.117 (talk) 17:17, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Noblesse oblige 

message: Artical said that He was the longest reigning manarch in 20th century. I think it should be changed to the Longest reigning monarch in Monarch and/or Europe, Because King Bhumibol Adulyadej was regning from 1946 and Rainier III was from 1949.Chamika1990 (talk) 02:48, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it doesn't say that.  It says he was "one of the longest ruling monarchs of the 20th century".  Quite true. --  Jack of Oz [Talk] 04:02, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: As of 24 June 2023, it didn't say that either, it said "At the time of his death, he was the world's second longest-serving living head of state, just below the King of Thailand, Bhumibol Adulyadej.".

message: 'After a year-long courtship described as containing "a good deal of rational appraisal on both sides"...'
What does this mean? Was there a reluctance on either side? Valetude (talk) 09:40, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Move discussion in progress 

message: It's factually incorrect to say he's one of the longest reigning monarchs in Europe - he's not even in the top 20. He's not even the longest reigning monarch in Monaco. What is the criteria for being one of the longest reigning monarchs? top 10, top 20, top 50? It's an assertion not backed up by evidence. 84.64.2.11 (talk) 17:30, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
