Monaco royals visit Williams Amherst unpretentious
The Prince Rainier and Princess Grace of Monaco toured Williams College and Amherst College in western Massachusetts this week, meeting with faculty and students. They dined casually at Four Acres Restaurant, posed for a few pictures with limited security, and spoke with Amherst President John W. Ward about academics, seeming notably low key and focused on education. Prince Albert and Princess Caroline accompanied them. Caroline appeared reluctant to pose for photos.
