On the news it was said that although she is officially interned in the Pantheon in Paris, her remains have stayed in Monaco, as was the wish of her children.

In the video you can see president Macron greeting Prince Albert. I believe the prince was seated next to one of the sons of Josephine Baker. I saw him being interviewed on the news about his mother's entry into the French Pantheon.

Wasn't Princess Grace friendly with Joséphine Baker?

Yep, when Joséphine was forced to sell off her Château de Milandes because of bankruptcy, it was Princess Gracia whom offered a helping hand and arranged a house outside Monte-Carlo for the litterally homeless artiste.

The Croix-Rouge monégasque, of which the Princess was the patroness, took care of Joséphine's many adopted children.

Princess Gracia, herself a former Americam artiste, apparently felt a connection with Joséphine, also a former American artiste.

Indeed ,, I saw her Pantheon Ceremony in live . Before it Prince Albert remind in his interview that he remerbered the 12 Children coming at their swimming pool.
Josephine Baker is buried in Monaco , her Children wanted her Body to remain there not far from Princess Grace ....
So for the Pantheon it was a cenotaphe .
President Macron in his speech talking to Monseigneur remembered what Princess Grace did and Prince Albert said yes with his head. He was sitting between one of Josephine Children and President Macron.
The attendance of Prince Albert was great . Bravo Monseigneur ! .
