National Day Monaco: 2006 - 2023

[fandesacs2003]

Although we missed Charlotte attending the National Day festivities, what about Stephanie's children? I don't recall seeing any pics, similarly previous years I think(?)

I think Stephanie's children never attended

 

[Elly C]

Yes that's what I thought. Quite odd given they are Monagasque citizens and have every reason to celebrate the National Day. I noticed members of the De Massey family were there. It would be nice if this were one occasion in the year when the whole family are together.

Agree! Stephanie's children never attended any celeabration with the only exception of the Circus Festival, and, hopefully Pc. Albert wedding.
I found even odd that the 2 olders did not attend Pcs Rainier funeral! They were 13y and 11y old, for me an age you are grown enough to accompany your grand father!
The official reason was that Stephanie wanted them to have a quite and protected childhood! But the 2 older are adults now, Pauline is compeeting, or going to fashion shows! What would be the problem to attend the National day?

They also attended Prince Albert's enthronement celebrations in 2005.

Louis, Pauline and Camille are all at an age where they can decide for themselves. So if they wanted to finally attend the official National Day celebrations, no one would prevent them from doing so. I'm pretty sure that by now it's their own decision not to attend.

Of course they are in age to decide by themselves, same do the Casiraghis. What i said is that IMO Stephanie raised them as if they were not concerned, and Caroline raised them as if they are fully concerned.
This is because now all kids being adults, the Casiraghis decide to assist, and Stephanie's kids do not assist.

Thanks for posting. I have a question. Inside the athedral, why the family prays standing amd Pcs Albert remains seated?

 

[USAPolitics]

Thanks for posting. I have a question. Inside the athedral, why the family prays standing amd Pcs Albert remains seated?

They are likely praying for the Sovereign Prince.

 

[iceflower]

That's correct - it's the prayer for the sovereign in Latin and French:

"Domine, salvum fac Principem nostrum Albertum, et exaudi nos in die qua invocaverimus te.

Seigneur, accorde le salut à notre Prince Albert, et exauce-nous au jour où nous t'invoquons!"

That means" Lord, save our Prince Albert and mercifully hear us when we call upon thee".

In addition to the video links of the medal ceremonies posted on the previous page of this thread, here's another nice one of the ceremony for the "ordres de Saint-Charles et de Grimaldi". Prince Albert attended together with Princess Charlene, Princess Caroline and Princess Stephanie:

I noticed that one of the few curtsies to the Prince was I think from a nun,the 3rd person to get the award in the above video.Princesses Caroline and Stephanie also appear to have a good laugh together half way through the video!

French Paris Match has published a very nice group portrait taken prior to the ceremony for the "ordres de Saint-Charles et de Grimaldi" on November 17:

Due to the heavy rains on National Day a medal ceremony had to be shunted to a later time. Yesterday, December 12, it was conducted at the courtyard of the Palace in presence of Prince Albert.

There is the program and the article writte that Prince sovereign and the princess Charlene should be present to wave the people of Monaco. A moment which is very expected because the twins of the princely couple will born in some weeks.

The links does not work , I wanted the translation

It will be so nice to see P Charlene alongside her husband on the balcony tomorrow. Let's hope she will be well enough to do so. I doubt if we will see her before the delivery after this.

@ the Ordre de St. Charles...
New Hairstyle for Princess Caroline?
Each time I see her she is better than ever!
I honestly love her more than life itself.

I certainly hope that is hyperbole on your part.

 

[Florestane]

I can't see any pics of Princess Caroline - where do you see a new hairstyle?

 

[Marty91charmed]

I think ahzroc thought that Steph was Caroline :-D

 

[Elly C]

Alexandra is there. I love Charlene's beret.

Sacha is so cute.

Things always look bigger on TV. When I visited the palace in Monaco it looked so much smaller than when it is on TV.
