Funeral of Prince Rainier: April 15, 2005

[MihoshiMarie]

Thanks for the links, elektraking. I was wondering if anyone knew the time the retransmission of the funeral will begin on palais.mc. Will it be the same time as the actual funeral (10 am Monaco time, 1 am Pacific Daylight Time)?

 

[monaco70s]

Yeah I also have the same question as you Mihoshi, at what time will the funeral be rebroadcasted...

 

[elektraking]

Here is a video link with the entire funeral also prince Charles and Camilla wedding.

Video Of Prince Rainier's funeral

For those who are interested, you can watch Prince Rainier's funeral starting today on www.palais.mc ..no matter of time..I think.. I was just few minutes ago there and was able to watch video.

I think this will be available for next 30 days..

 

[monaco70s]

Thanks for telling us Ianna I also remember reading somewhere it will be available for 30 days...do they show the whole funeral or just parts of it?

 

[Ianna]

Always.. I think whole funeral with footage of previous documentaries of Prince Rainier and family. In window of video was saying 4:02:00..so I guess they provide whole..

Does anyone know if Baron Christian de Massy (son of Pcess Antoinette) who had been banished from Monaco some years ago because of his comments on Prince Rainier and his family, was allowed to attend his uncle's funeral ?

Oh thanks Ianna for the info I guess that you have to have some time to watch it....

In these days surely no.. It is too long for me to sit and watch..Last Friday I saw first part..it's bad you can't arrange to watch from point you want..

 

[monaco70s]

It's the same for me...very busy days...and I wish like you that you could watch the funeral on several parts.

 

[budge9]

If you choose to watch it in real player and then click the right of your mouse you can choose to watch it in your own real player which allows you to choose which bit you want to watch!

Does anybody know how to save it on to your computer???

Thanks for the tip You know, I don't think it's posible to save on ur PC :-/ since the whole funeral is like 4 hours...me thinks it could occupy like 4 GB or something....

La douleur des adieux

Albert will make of Monaco the capital of worlds sport, charity and ecology.

Caroline and Stephanie - Monaco can rely on two First Ladys.

Stephanie - Monaco's minister for social affaires

Caroline - Monaco's minister for cultural affaires

Caroline takes care of the Grimaldi clan. She reunited the whole family around her - for lunch and dinner at the Palais Princier - where Andrea, Charlotte, Pierre, Ernstie and Christian took care of and looked after Louis, Pauline, Camille and Alexandra.
The two sisters - distant some time before - share intimete moments.

Stephanie and her aunt 'Tini' Antoinette felt the need to eclipse themselves from the family circle frm time to time - to walk side by side, in silence and remeber.

Bernard Montiel: " In August, at the Red-Cross-Gala, Stephanie watched her father with love and admiration - extrordinary. I couldn't keep myself from saying: ' Hey, Steph....what a complicity between you and your daddy!' - With this 'little-girl-expression' in her eyes she answered: ' Mais oui, c'est mon papounet' ( Yes, he's my papounet)."

Albert and Caroline will take care of Stephanie. They would never let her down - like she would never let them down.
People will surely be surprised by Stephanie's positive role in Monaco, the positive role she'll assume in the future.

Thanks Michelle! Where did you get the Caroline quote from?

My cousin.

 

[monaco70s]

You did a nice photo essay Michelle of such a sad moment for the family. I liked Caroline's quote and believe both the Princesses and Albert will do such a great job in Monaco.

 

[LadyMacAlpine]

I agree with Monaco70s very nice.

 

[hillary_nugent]

thanks for the pictures everyone, i haven't been on the forum lately so the pictures really do a good job on updating me and everything...so thanks heaps! ^___^

 

[Piewi]

Michelle thenks for your pics, these family must be togeder now...I like Caro coute.
Your pics are touching michelle, thanks for posting them

 

[budge9]

I did notice when I watched the funeral that Stephanie kept looking over at Caroline and that everytime she did she seemed to become even more emotional. I think that we are now seeing two sisters coming together again in grief and love.
