Great pictures...Was Princess Caroline crying, or did she just have something in her eyes? Princess Stephanie looked so proud at her big brother.

It looks like Caroline was crying. Today is Albert's it is a new beginning for him, the family and Monaco. Best wishes and good luck to Albert on his new position. May the future be brighter.

Corbis.com has photo's as well I can't do attachments for someone who can not all of them have been posted yet.

Wow.. Caroline crying... that's very touching... I bet she thought she would never actually see this day... not that Albert wouldn't become the Sovereign Prince but that her father would know longer be around.... It's a very emotional day for all of the family I imagine... That Cathedral seems like the center of their world... everything takes place there

 

[kittencrews]

PS... Why wasn't Andrea there... it seems like he should have been at the service!

 

[Grace]

He was there...all three Casiraghis were, and if I'm not mistaken also Ernst's sons.

Waiting for pics of the young generation!

Kisses

Andrea was there.
Louis and Pauline weren't....that's always kind of sad to me 'cause I'd love to see them there.

Here are some more pics....

( I wonder if Simon attended the ceremony ??? )

In this picture: http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=167883 how come Caroline, Stephanie and Albert are all kneeling but not Ernst or the people behind them?

(Sorry, I have not seen any video of the enthronment ceremony so I don't know what they are doing exactly.)

With Simon you never know he seems to get around. It was good to see photo's of Albert and Stephanie smiling during the mass. Thank you Michelle.

 

[tbhrc]

Well it really looks as if she cries!!?

 

[Bubbette]

What was Stephanie wearing? Caroline also?

 

[hillary_nugent]

Congratulations to Albert i'm sure he'll be a great ruler =)

P.S. Who is this Simon? haha ^___^

 

[Australian]

What was Stephanie wearing? Caroline also?

Well from what i can gather from just the photos, Stephanie is wearing a skirt with a cardigan??(im a guy correct me if im wrong)

Caroline is wearing a hideous grey dress

 

[Piewi]

Thanks for the pics!!! Albert will be a great ruler
Caroline was crying, touching. BTW she was beautiful as Charlotte (she was wearing jewels!)
Steph was pretty too, but is a pitty that Pauline and Luois weren´t there.

I'm not sure but sometimes only the first row will have a place to knell. In churches where their aren't knellers you often stand when praying instead.

 

[hillary_nugent]

Are there any pictures of Pierre? Charlotte looks so lovely ^___^
