Dommanget was born in Reims, France, as the daughter of Colonel Robert Joseph Dommanget (1867–1957) and his wife, Marie Louise Meunier (1867–1957).
In 1923, she was married to Paul Diey (1863–1931).[1] After his death in 1931, she had a relationship with actor André Brulé.[2]
She broke up with Brulé and married the reigning Prince of Monaco, Louis II, on 24 July 1946 — the first bride of a member of the House of Grimaldi without a dowry.[3]
Following Louis II's death on 9 May 1949,[4] and the accession of her step-grandson, Rainier III, she became Dowager Princess of Monaco, a title she held until her death.
