So do i Radker18. After all this is one of the most popular and prestigious events of the principality, and leaving Stephanie deal with it on her own gives out such a sense of lack of interest in Monaco's cultural life. And God knows how much that principality needs real care and attention. Not just being there posing for the photo, as Caroline ( and Albert himself ) seems to do nowadays, but really being there, getting involved, participating, promoting the country ( socially, politically, scientifically... ) creating new alternatives to the regular social events ( cultural, scientific research prizes, as prestigious as Prince of Asturias or the Nobel Prizes ) stimulating tourism ( renewing traditions, folklore... ) actually taking tender care of the principality. Let's see what happens at Sainte- Devote Day...

Indeed she has , and so one of the headlines from today is:
"Stephanie of Monaco, it's her daughter Pauline who made the show"

Stephanie de Monaco : C'est sa fille Pauline qui a fait... le show !

Thanks for the pics!
It is great to see beautiful Pauline again!
I hope to see other membes of the Princely Family of Monaco attending soon!
Both Stephanie and Pauline look nice, though I personally don't like a 14 years old wearing those high heel shoes!

The awards gala evening has been the last show with Princely
attendance, so there won't be any other members attending
the other shows. At least that's how it's been so far, I don't
think that will change.
As to Pauline and her shoes, well, fashion changes as well as
the characteristics of the teenage period

Ice, are you sure that the gala is always the last time Stephanie attends.
I seem to rember her being there after that as well.

Charlotte really came out to the world and Press when she was 14 .I think Pauline did it also this year during the festival .

I'm quite sure about that, I can't remember any pic from the
last years that was taken after the gala show. But I could
imagine that Steph attends one or more of the following shows
incognito, in order to see if everything works well and to see
the shows from a different angle, with the eyes of the normal
visitors..

Any word and / or who attended the closing ceremony of 33 international circus festival? Were P. Caroline or P. Albert there? I wouldn't like to think they left poor Stéphanie alone in such an important event of the principality cultural life...

Pauline's shoes are fantastic iceflower

Two german articles:

Princess Stephanie is great ( baz.online )

Translation:

Princess Stéphanie is great

Hearty felicitation, now you completely stand on top on circus Mount Olympus. Thank you. We have never reckoned on receiving an honouring. It is already a knight's blow to be invited generally to Monte Carlo. We judged the whole above all as a big, unique experience: Up to few exceptions one takes part in this festival only once in the life. They have received from princess Stéphanie a bronze clown, how have you experienced them? Now we are big fans of her! She is a fantastic person, so normally. What has impressed me: She is always present in the festival from first up to the last day, also in all tests. This is her festival, she looks after everything. What does one speak with a princess of? She speaks with pleasure of her other projects, of her AIDS charitable organisation and of course of her children.

Your highness, I've seen a wonderful act ... (faz.net )

Translation:

21st of January, 2009 the princess "boss" Sometimes says to him, in the fun only, because the boss is and remains of course they, Stéphanie Marie Elisabeth Grimaldi, princess of Monaco, president of the circus festival of Monte Carlo. Urs Pilz is only the vice president, but what is called here only: The man from Schaffhausen in Switzerland invites the artistes to this unofficial world championship, he puts together the programmes, he provides for the free from problems expiry of the images. The doer of the festival is more than only the "boss": He is the world circus manager. Besides, Urs Pilz comes neither from a circus dynasty, nor he pursues own circus. Rather he sells in the true life ski suits and clothes. However, the 67 year-old fashion manager who works as an authorised attorney and sales manager at the Munich enterprise bowmaker leads a double life: during the day businessman, in the evening circus lover. Luckily is also his woman whom with the "crown" - circus manager Christel Sembach-Krone a position of trust takes, to the circus go to ruin.
