Ohhhhh wow - Steph is soooo ... no, no I will not put myself into suspicion for some who then might put me into jail for saying things ;- ).... but I can't hold back : SHE IS BEAUTIFUL !!!!

As for the Festival, I'm really excited - I think it's going to be a great show and I hope for all the family to support Steph there. I want Andrea, Pierre, Charlie, Chris and Ernsti to show up and have a Party with Tama

As it is the next big major event in Monaco taking place January 19th to January 27th 2006. The Monaco Press Site made a report about the Festival preperations: La Princesse Stéphanie prépare .....

I might try to get some tickets for an afternoon show, since finally the kids might be big enough to sit through a whole show. if not I'll be attending the mass. I went once with the kids since the petits chanteurs were doing the music (and it is for free, so if you have to leave with the little ones in the middle of the show, people tend to be less bothered by the trouble you are creating - catching 2 2 year olds who are climbing under the seats and encouraging other todds to do likewise, can be a bit of a disruption , besides to have to pay for 3 tickets and having to leave halfway through in order to not keep others from enjoying the performance is not in my single mum budget). Anyway I always go there with the kids to see the animals and see the artists getting ready, which is quite convenient, since a playground is just behind the tent.

For those who happen to be in Monaco at the time and don't get tickets (or find them too expensive) the mass is a good ad cheap alternative. You might have to get of your seat for prayers occasionally, but it is usually beautifully done with clowns and other artists. And when I attended, Steph and PA were there as well. (I think they are stalking me )

 

[sebastian]

.... And when I attended, Steph and PA were there as well. (I think they are stalking me )

They do .... that's obvious

You're right, the mass is nice, I attended it once when I was a little boy.
Do you think Louis, Pauline and Camille will join their mother on some days. I think Pauline will do that, that's clear...not sure about Louis though ( his xbox might keep him paralysed in fron of his big screen )

I've seen pictures of Stephs kids over the last few years, though I think they mainly attended the matinees and I think the gala, because I remember Pauline handing over a price ( I might mix it up with the premiere ramp that follows right after - the circus of the youngsters). Don't forget it's school time. Though the gala is usually on a Tuesday if I remember correctly and MC has only half day school. Caroline came with her kids too, though I think she usually only attends the gala and possibly one afternoon show.

 

[RADKER18]

Does any one know if Caroline and Family will be at this years festival?

 

[sebastian]

Does any one know if Caroline and Family will be at this years festival?

I hope so ... this years Festival will be a BEST OF, there will be no awards handed out but there'll be a huge march guided by Princess Stephanie to the Palace court as an homage to Prince Rainier.

 

[paca]

I'm positive about their presence. They've always been there and since PA is the souverain they have always showed a united family front. I don't see why that should change.
