Her Serene Highne, Prince Grace of Monaco We are truly touched that you would all honour, our tiny corner of the world with your presence.Uh.Goodne, we’ve, well… We’ve had a spot of trouble lately.When I\'m acting in New York, My uncle, a wonderful playwright, told me that I should pray.The same prayer, every night.That should I ever…should I ever make it, I would never be ungrateful.That should I ever be in a position of influence, I would have it in me to use it for good.Now, some of you ask, why did I leave Hollywood? Well… I left because…Because I fell in love with a charming prince.A man who inspired me to see the world with enough compaion that I may want to do something about all of the unfair things that I see in it.And that\'s why we are honouring the Red Cro.A force for good that is…that is very close to my heart.One of my dearest friends once told me…“that when people dream of marrying royalty, they rarely comprehend what it actually mean.” It means…It means having to choose.And… I choose the House of Monaco.It may not seem a noble place, it may seem…Well, it may seem pompous and it may seem circumstantial, and… I may not speak its language and…Oh…It frustrates me at times, but…it’s my home.And these are my people.And they are good people.And they’re trying to do what’s right, in their own small corner of the world… in the best way that they know how.And those of you who are married will know exactly what I mean.Maybe I\'m naive but… I believe in fairy tales.I do.I believe that they can exist if we really want them to, if we are prepared to work hard enough.I believe that the… that the world will not always be full of hatred and conflict if…if we’re willing to sacrifice enough.And that is what …That is what Monaco means to me.And in a way that is why…That\'s why I am Monaco.I have no army, I…I wish ill on no one.I bear no resistance to aggreion, I just…I\'m here.I\'m here doing what I do, trying to make a little difference in the world in the best way that I know how.But it wouldn’t be real life, or it wouldn’t be the fairy tale, if there wasn’t someone trying to destroy it, or crush it, simply because it doesn’t please them, or simply because they can.And I know some of you think it’s their right to do so.But I don’t think anyone should have the right to crush happine or beauty when they see it.Well, it’s…It’s not how I was raised .And it’s not the world that I wish to…It’s not the world I wish to be a part of.I would rather that the…that the tanks roll through my lawn, I would rather that the bombs fall on my house than know I live in a world where love doesn’t conquer all.Because…Because I believe in love.And…I believe that it’s love that has brought us here tonight.And it’s love…It’s love that will make us put away our guns and our politics and our fears and our prejudices, and it’s love that eventually make everything right.And that is why tonight I am going to celebrate it, and I’m going to be willing to defend it.And I hope that you will all do the same in your own way…out there in your own lives.
For all one can wish for in life is a place to belong, to love and be loved without doubt, without judgment, without condition.This will be my fairy tale.在所有希望实现的人生梦想中,找到一个属于你的地方,毫不犹豫,没有功利,毫无条件的去爱和被爱,这就是我的童话故事
