Princess Stephanie: Mum was at the wheel during crash

October 10 2002

Princess Stephanie of Monaco has broken her silence about the road crash which killed 
her
mother Princess Grace 20 years ago, according to the German weekly magazine Bunte.

She told the magazine in its latest edition that, contrary to rumours, it was her 
mother who
was driving at the time and not herself, then aged 17.

On September 13, 1982, their car missed a turn on a twisting road high in the cliffs 
near
Monaco and hurtled down a steep slope.

After initially reassuring reports, authorities announced the next day that the 
Oscar-winning
Hollywood actress had died, sparking a heated debate about the circumstances.

Many questioned who had been at the wheel, but doctors reported that Grace had suffered
a brain injury that caused her to momentarily lose her memory - and control of the car.

Stephanie told Bunte, in a summary released in advance, that said she did all she could
from the passenger seat
to bring the car to a stop, pulling the handbrake and setting the automatic gear level 
to the
"park" position.

"Did my mother mix up the accelerator with the brake pedal?" she asked. "I don't know."

Stephanie, who was badly injured in the crash, said she crawled out of the driver's 
side of
the car because her own side was too damaged.

The princess, 37, said she was breaking her silence about the accident now in order to
protect her three children, Louis, Pauline and Camille.

She said she had been victimised by the media which blamed her for the car accident.

"There was no reason for it. Guilty? No, because I have nothing to reproach myself for,
except that I am still here and have survived."

"Give me the right to raise my children in peace and lead my own life," she urged.

Grace Kelly, born in the eastern US city of Philadelphia, married Monaco's Prince 
Rainier at
a glittering 1956 ceremony, a year after she won an Academy Award for The Country Girl.
