Royal Orders and Decorations​

Thanks for telling us Sebastian I'm not sure, but I think this is the first time Stephanie is given an order in Monaco, so maybe we might see her at the enthronement ceremonies wearing a sash or the order.

Another interesting live-broadcast: TF1 (french TV channel) - from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. - including live-interviews with Prince Albert and Prncess Stephanie.

TF1 - Le couronnement d'Albert II de Monaco

(I unfortunately don't know if there will be any livestream via internet)

 

[paca]

there will be another show this sunday about monaco and the coronation at 20.50h on FRANCE 3 On ne peux pas plaire tous le monde. Some of these shows are repeated the following week on France 5, which is also transmitted in other EU countries.

 

[Saragli]

Will Euronews cover the ceremony. I watched Prince Rainers funeral on EuroNews but I am not sure if they will show the enthronment.

officially the Tedeum is transmitted on mondiavision. So I suppose they will have a short extract in their news as well. In France TF1 and France 2 will have live transmissions, in Monaco of course TMC, in Germany RTL and ZDF.

Whether other countries will be showing the tedeum live, I don't know. it probably depends on the importance of the delegation. But it was anounced in yesterdays paper, that the security will be different from the funeral. for the funeral roads, airspace etc were completely blocked due to the number of heads of state. Confirmed have been the president from Ireland and Philippe douste-Blazy from France. Who ever will attend from other countries will arrive discretely.

 

[paca]

Fortunato Baldelli - Representing the pope (and co-celebrating the tedeum),Victoria of sweden, Haakon of Norway, William of Luxembourgh, Moulay Rachid of Marocco, Feisal bin al Hussein of Jordan, Edward and Sophie Wessex, Alois and Sophie of Liechtenstein, JOachim of Denmark, Antonello Bacciocchi for San Marino, Claudio Muccioli for San Marino, Olafur Ragnar Grimsson for Iceland, George Iacovou for Cyprus, Albert Pintat and Carmen Rossell for Andorra, Marcello Pera for Italy, Christiaan Kroener for the Netherlands

Anyone from the Spanish Royal Family? I'm guessing after what he said in Singapore for the Olympics 2008 none of them is gonna go.

There was nothing official in todays paper, but I could imagine that since Haakon and Felipe are friends, that he would come. Besides PAs remark about security was quite legitimate, especially if you consider what an easy target they are. And I don't think anyone would want to have a repetion of Munich 1972.

 

[carlota]

was the date finally changed to the 18th as i read somewhere else? are any of the attendants known?

 

[paca]

No, it is still the 19th as PA decided. He didn't see any reason to change it after over 50 years. What did change though is the prayer for the prince during the service, which is sung at every service in the churches of MC. During the mourning period, Rainier has ordered in his testament that the name of the sovereign should be left out to unite father and son (THE moment during the funeral where PA couldn't retain his tears either and every one else started sniffing into their handkerchiefs). The prayer with Alberts name has been sung for the first time in July, where again everyone was moved.

The Spanish we do not consider it to be like that. Neither the politicians nor the population consider it, for what I do not believe that there goes any member of the Spanish Royal Family.

It bothered the question and the form in the one that did it. He is a Chief of State and must be more careful with these topics. The same question that did to Spain could do it to New York, London or his French friends. Today in day no country is to except of the terrorism.

Spain goes 30 years suffering ETA's terrorism, and it has not prevented that in 1992 a Olympic Games were celebrated in Barcelona, and that it had celebrated hundreds of international sports, political and cultural events.

In addition, he was in charge to complicate the things when he raised the possibility that Gibraltar was member of the Olympic organisms.

The Spanish politicians ended enchanted him and their commentaries.

The peculiar thing is that all these things do not worry to him when he or their family comes from vacations to Spain, to enjoy the sun of Marbella, the celebrations of Ibiza or the huntings.

Mnaco Matin - 16.11.2005

translation from deadline press :

Begining of the National Fete Monegasque :
Albert II & Stephanie carry out the traditional handing-over of gifts to the old people

Beginning of the festivities of the National Festival Monegasque with the traditional handing-over of gifts with the old people in the buildings of the Red Cross Monegasque. It is the Stéphanie Princess and her brother the Prince Souverain Albert II, who have, like each year, distributed the bags of present. There was between the Prince and his sister a great complicity. The Princess, very bronzed, is back of Thailand where it spent two weeks of holidays of in love with her friend Matthieu. Radiant and smiling, it would have agreed to be implied still more in the businesses of the State at the sides of her brother.
