Thanks for telling us, paca!

How was the relationship between Rainier and Ernst jr and Christian?
Did he consider them grandkids?
I'm asking because I know that Ernst Jr, Christian, Andrea, Pierre, Charlotte and Alexandra consider themselves as siblings and I also wonder of their relationship with Albert and Stephanie.

Thanks in advance

Ernsti and Christian have a great relationship with Stephanie and Albert - and they also had a very nice one with Rainier as far as I know. :)

Some screencaps from RTL

I feel so sorry for Steph in that video of the funeral, the way she kept looking to Caroline - like a little girl looking to her big sister.

Grace · #**206** 04-01-2006, 08:38 AM

When I first saw the Funeral on tv, and now watching these screencaps, I get the feeling that Al and Steph were really worried about Caro that day, maybe cause they knew Ernst was very sick and they feared she might break down. The looks they often gave her seemed looks of protection, as of checking how she was. I might be wrong of course, but that was my impression.

Casey321 · #**207** 04-01-2006, 09:16 AM

Oh yeah, I forgot that Ernst was ill at the time. I see what you mean Grace.

I agree with you Grace ... I had the same impression. They pretty much tried to comfort each other a lot. There'sone thing my bros talked about: Although Caro was very weak and in fear because of Ernst's condition she found the strength to comfort Steph..at one moment after the service she carressed Steph's arm and face and Steph took Caro's hand...

Grace · #**209** 04-01-2006, 09:36 AM

Yes, I agree Michelle, it surely went both ways, and I do remember Caro conforting Steph. They were probably both worried for each other...

You're right, it must have been a very hard day for Caroline. Just imagine your husband is in coma and you have to go to the funeral of your beloved father, and that in front of the eyes of the whole world...

I am just a new kid on the block in so far as the The Forums are concerned. I am also unabashedley a royal afficiaonado with a special interest on the Grimaldis. The Late Prince Rainier of Monaco was one of my favourite European Royals. Could there be anyone out there with a DVD/VHS of the funeral.

I personally saw it on the internet but perhaps those who were able to view it on television in Europe taped it.

The Royal Family of Monaco has not made available to the public any copies of any Royal funerals.

I would say any and all ceremonies but I think the media rights to the wedding of Rainier and Grace were sold as I see long and short sections of the entire three days in various specials on Grace, Rainier, Monaco, Royalty...etc.

Good luck.

You could contact TMC, the local TV station. That was the station that also did the internet transmission. They originally had it for quite a while on the palace webpage. They still have a written report there under a special link Liturgie.

Thanks lads, my only hope now is to find viewers in Europe who recorded it from the TV. However people are not forthcoming

I found a link to a summary video of Rainier's funeral.

I haven't seen any link to this video on this forum.
Sorry if it has already been post.

At the same time the Prince Ernst August of Hannover was urgently operated.
