FULL programme:flowers:
 
there is interview of prince Albert in the Figaro .fr international. He speaks about the place of Monaco in the world, finances , taxes, the presence of Charlene at the national fest to morrow, about Charlene and their weedding
 
I would think, now that they are officially engaged, she's required to be there - wouldn't it seems strange for her to miss (or be excluded from) this important event regarding Monaco's history...since, she's going to be its Princess soon?

Here are the first pics from today, Princess Stephanie handing out presents
at the Foyer Rainier III, November 18, 2010. It's always so nice to see her
joking and talking with the elderly people!

Yes, he said she will be there
Thank you!

I've searched for the article, but my french isn't very good, so i appreciate it.

Iceflower, thanks for the new pics of Stephanie! Didn't Caroline have to deliver something too?
 
I am looking forward to seeing Charlene for the first time at the balcony !
 
Wonder if Charlotte and her brothers will be there
 
I really hope to see the Casiraghis one more time. Alexandra is going to be there for sure with her mum.
I imagine there will be a lot of expectation for Charlene's appearence.
I want to see the celebration so bad!!!

Yes, this one will be different - I, too, wonder if Andrea, Charlotte, and Pierre will (need to) be there - hopefully, one more time. Now that they're getting older, don't live w/their mother, are dating and/or working (and, have no official role), I'm sure the novelty of making the balcony appearance has worn off. However, I think the people are looking forward to greeting Charlene on the balcony - a lot of pressure, for sure!
 
:previous: If you look at the caption closely, you'll see it reads 2007. ;):)
 
On one of the first three pics you can see another leg and skirt, that must be Caroline's :)
 
Thank you, Iceflower for the link. It seems that Princess Caroline is absent, what a pity!

Probably this is not the place to write this,but Charlene's hat is overwhelming, it's like a big satelite dish. lol (but I like the rest of the outfit)
 
Thank God, princess Caroline didn´t absent.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo
there isn't casiraghis ¿?¿?¿ :(
 
Let's wait and see, there are not yet all pics available, the Casiraghis sometimes don't
attend the mass, so we have to wait for more pics of the balcony appearance to
see whether they attended or not :)

I don't think it's because of the protocol, when thinking back to previous
years: in 2007 Stephanie wore a white/grey combination, Charlotte wore
beige in 2006, Caroline wore white/silver in 2004 for example (not to forget
the strong red and yellow worn in the 1980s :)) so the colours might
be their personal preferences for such official occasions.
