Wedding of Albert and Charlene: Church wedding and celebrations, July 2 2011

Great find!
Yep, Camille seems to be behind Princess Caroline. What a pity, how the photographer didn't note that? He could have take several pictures and chose the better one.

Reading the guest list apparently quite a few more Kelly relations were in attendance other than JB Kelly, Chris Levine and John Lehman.

[Smush]

Great photos. Thanks for posting them!

Caroline and Stephanie not smiling in a family protrait. And Caroline appart from the group as if she didn´t want to be part of it. It says a lot. The sisters don´t look particularly happy that their brother has just married. I suspect why.

[Zonk]

I think Caroline is standing apart so she doesn't hit Stephanie with the brim of that hat!

I love it how the Hanover boys are in the photo as well. Good to see that their relationship has continued.

[Smush]

Andrea, Pierre and Charlotte are smiling at their uncle's wedding.
I wonder why

[melina premiere]

As Smush said why the nephews are smiling?
The space between Princess Stephanie and Princess Caroline was the place of Camille, but she was behind her aunt.
Princess Stephanie doest not like smile, during the national fest of this year, she was not very smiling but she always said she was very happy for Albert and Charlene , in an interview two days before the wedding with Jean Claude Narcy on the channel1, she said 'that all these bad rumors come of the jalousie of the people, she said also that she will always support her future sister in law and she likes her a lot;' She also cried during the civil wedding, and she said to Stephan Bern that she was very moved for his brother and Charlène.
For Caroline, this wedding recalls her that all her weddings were a failure.
She helped Charlène and Albert in the wedding preparation, she took the place of a mother in law who was no more here, it was her idea for the little maidbrides in the national dresses and for the decoration for the evening gala.

[Nathalie Cox]

I don't know why the nephews and nieces shouldn't been smiling.
If they were serious in the photos, they would be critized so...

[rosana]

Omg!! How many silly excuses!! This is a family event! Everybody should be happy, shouldn´t they? At least pretend that you are for an official portrait that will be seen by future generations.

Caroline´s weddings were ALL a failure!?? She was a widow, there was an accident, that is not a failure!! She had a happy life with ups and downs, why would she go through life with an expression of sorrow because she divorced once and her current husband is not a hypocrite like most royals and decided to step aside? Caroline was much happier in other royal weddings she attended.

[KittyAtlanta]

I think the proper thing to say re: Caroline's marriages is that they all ended sadly. No one I've ever known has married with wishes to have any of them end badly.

[Nathalie Cox]

Yep, and if we are talking about "failures" of marriages, Stephanie had failed marriages as well. If we are going to talk like this.
For the sisters, marriage ended up sadly in some cases. That's all.
Failure is very heavy to say.

How does one watch these videos without harming our eyes? I tried watching with 3-D glasses but it didn't work

You can turn the 3D off,. pass your curser over the top right of the screen and you should see the option.

And yet the ruling houses and "pretender" houses show up to the wedding in Monaco. Why is this? Even the President of France? This seems ridiculous.
Other small duchies are bigger. Liechtenstein is 67 square miles (it's rulers were at the wedding in Monaco). Luxembourg has between 900 and 1000 square miles, tiny compared to Belgium, but big compared on Monaco. I do not get why these people are honored. the prince already has two children whom he says he cannot recognize as heirs because his father made it impossible for him to do so, but now he's the prince, so he should change the law. I do not think this sort of behavior is acceptable in someone whom people come from all over to see get married--why? Because his named genes go back to the early Middle Ages? I guess that's it. I prefer royals who behave at least somewhat.

[XeniaCasaraghi]

LMAO! Royals who behave somewhat, the Royal Houses who behave themselves could probably be counted on one hand.

[mtatum]

What's ridiculous is to measure something's significance according to its physical size.

Obviously, the fact that Monaco thrives inspite of its limitations, to properly look after its citizens, and its princely family to attract the attention of royal watchers prove that its stature far exceeds the few hundred acres it sits on.

And as for royals who behave somewhat, good luck.
