Just watching the "Remise des Médailles aux Bénévoles" - PA giving out medals to charity workers..... I found him quite reserved and wooden, whereas Michel Roger was much more cordial; he was giving out the "Medailles d'Honneur Vermeil et Argent".....

In his address, PA paid homage to all charity workers, especially Ange Fasciolo (a painter) and Jean-Claude Gondeau (Club Amici del Circo) who had died recently.

FULL programme

[melina premiere]

there is interview of prince Albert in the Figaro .fr international. He speaks about the place of Monaco in the world, finances , taxes, the presence of Charlene at the national fest to morrow, about Charlene and their weedding

[Nathalie Cox]

He said she will be there?

[melina premiere]

Yes, he said she will be there

[Horseygal]

I would think, now that they are officially engaged, she's required to be there - wouldn't it seems strange for her to miss (or be excluded from) this important event regarding Monaco's history...since, she's going to be its Princess soon?

Here are the first pics from today, Princess Stephanie handing out presents
at the Foyer Rainier III, November 18, 2010. It's always so nice to see her
joking and talking with the elderly people!

Thank you!

I've searched for the article, but my french isn't very good, so i appreciate it.

Iceflower, thanks for the new pics of Stephanie! Didn't Caroline have to deliver something too?

[rominet09]

I am looking forward to seeing Charlene for the first time at the balcony !

[4Pam]

Wonder if Charlotte and her brothers will be there

[Nathalie Cox]

I really hope to see the Casiraghis one more time. Alexandra is going to be there for sure with her mum.
I imagine there will be a lot of expectation for Charlene's appearence.
I want to see the celebration so bad!!!

Yes, this one will be different - I, too, wonder if Andrea, Charlotte, and Pierre will (need to) be there - hopefully, one more time. Now that they're getting older, don't live w/their mother, are dating and/or working (and, have no official role), I'm sure the novelty of making the balcony appearance has worn off. However, I think the people are looking forward to greeting Charlene on the balcony - a lot of pressure, for sure!
