Grace Kelly travelled to her ancestors' homeland three times. Which area did she visit?

Grace Patricia Kelly, from 1956 Princess Grace of Monaco (1929, Philadelphia, USA—1982, Monte Carlo, Monaco), American actress, was known for her talent, stately beauty and reserve. She starred in 11 motion pictures before abandoning a Hollywood career to marry Rainier III, "Prince de Monaco", in 1956.

The Kelly family were originally from Ireland and like many Irish-Americans she was taught to value her Irish roots. Her grandfather on her father's side, John Peter Kelly, was originally from Drimurla, just outside Newport in County Mayo. He left the cottage that was his birthplace and home in 1887 and emigrated to Philadelphia.

Princess Grace made three trips to Mayo during which time she visited and ultimately purchased the cottage where her grandfater had grown up. On her third trip in 1979 she made plans to build a holiday home in Drimurla, however these never came to fruition as Grace died tragically in a car accident in 1982.

Her son, Prince Albert, visited the cottage in April 2011 to honour his mother's Irish roots, 50 years after she had made her first visit to Ireland.
