Yes, Princess Grace was very active trying to get the annulment for her daughter's wedding. But, unfortunately for her, Caroline's case was used by the Vatican as an "example" and the annulment was not granted. Refusing the annulment, the Vatican wanted to show Catholics that marriage was something serious. That's why it was not granted during Stefano's life. I think that if Caroline had not married Stefano (we have to remember that Caroline married him because she was pregnant), the annulment would have come much earlier.
