PRINCE RAINIER: “Pope Pius XII was an extraordinary man, absolutely saintly. I always had the impression with him that he was the closest one could ever get to God. He didn’t receive us around the coffee table with chummy talk. I don’t want that from a pope. He received us in a little throne room. Grace and I sat on each side of him. He was affectionate and nice but deeply committed to his faith and deeply inspiring”.
