Default Removing grill without breaking it?

Dumb question I know. In addition to the three fasteners on the top, something is holding the grill on the bottom. I tried to pull one way, then the other, but no luck. Are there additional fasteners that must be removed? Oh, it's a 2011 full-sized Range Rover.

Nobody removed a grill? My repair manuals are no help.

So, there are three self-tapping screws with an 8mm head to hold the top of the grill to the radiator bulkhead, but once they're removed, then what? I've tried pulling the grill up, and toward the front, but it doesn't budge.

Okay, I looked really closely at the picture in the workshop manual and pulled forward (toward the front of the car) with the top screws out. Nothing happened. So, I gulped and pulled forward REALLY HARD. And, there was this loud snapping noise and the grill popped off. No damage.
