Thank goodness that Natan will not be the designer. Perhaps Valentino like Maxima?

Oh my God Elie Saab would be sooo great. But I also think it could be Valentino.

I suspect that she will use a local talent-someone from Luxembourg or Belgium.
Just not Natan.
But either Valentino or Elie Saab would send me to the Moon...not to mention Monique L'Huillier, Nicolas Ghesquiere or Narciso Rodriguez........!!

Even if there are no events in the official calendar, I would guess that in his private calender this is the time for his traditional elk-shooting weekend, or as it seems as he has to hunt deer instead this year, as there are not enough elks to kill in his traditional hunting place.

The civil wedding is on 19 and the religious is on 20, right?
Then what's on 21st?
Also, the guest list is about those attending the Cathedral ceremony only, so maybe Albert and Charlene will attend the gala, right?

Nothing is the 21st, but I doubt guests are going to leave straight after the wedding reception which is why some are staying 19th-21st.
The reason Albert and Charlene are apparently not attending are because of the Princess Grace awards in America on the 22nd October, they'll probably be there for a few days prior.

What a pity that Queen Fabiola won't attend!

To everyone who's happy Natan isn't the bridal gown designer: Didn't Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen also deny being the designer of Kate Middleton's dress? And then low and behold, it turned out to be a lie. The point is, I wouldn't get your jumpy claps going until she steps out in the dress and it's confirmed that it's not a Natan (whoever this guy is).

RubyPrincess168, I was seized with the same suspicion just last night. All I can do is hope they are telling us the truth.
BTW, did Sarah Burton ever categorically deny being Kate's designer, or was she simply evasive and "no comment"?

principessa, HM is so very frail now. At Comtesse Alix de Lannoy's funeral a few weeks ago she used two canes, cannot stand upright, and required the assistance of the Princess Mathilde.
I would have loved to have seen her at the wedding. Maybe she will still attend as a member of the GD Family(she is Henri's aunt) but the Court will not announce it as it depends on how she is feeling.
But I would not be surprised if she doesn't attend.

Either this is the lamest excuse i ve ever heard for not attending a state wedding or is this is the worst planning of agenda ever. P. Albert is the head of the monegasque state. Attending this kind of ceremonies with the Princess Consort is part of his official and diplomatic functions... So, to me this absence sounds fishy as if there were more to it than meets the eye!!!

Perhaps a few minutes googling would eliminate the reason for posts like this one.
Princess Grace foundation is celebrating 30 years since its formation. It was formed shortly after the death of Princess Grace to formalize a dream she had of supporting young performers and artists. As is usually the case I would guess there is other events in connection with this 30 year anniversary, i.e. dinner/reception with the current and perhaps also past years winners, board meeting and other events closely connected with the foundation. This is the event Prince Albert should attend. The Luxemburg wedding is clearly second to the Princess Grace foundation.

I agree that the Princess Grace Awards requires the presence of Albert and Charlene, but why could it not have been pushed up to the weekend of Oct 27 or some other weekend in October? Albert and his Court have known about this wedding for six months prior.
The fact is that the absence of the Prince and Princess of Monaco from the wedding of the HGD of Luxembourg sticks out like a sore thumb and looks very odd. Otherwise why is it being discussed on every Royal message board I have visited this weekend? 
I am with lazuli on this one.

I think it is fairly safe to say that Natan will not be the designer of the wedding dress because Edouard Vermeulen will be a guest commentator on the RTL-TV1 telecast of the wedding. Traditionally, the dress designer is invited to the wedding and reception in case any mishaps happen with the dress.

Dates for this kind of events are picked a lot earlier than 6 months prior.
