Lena said:Maybe it´s not the right moment to criticse, but I also couldn´t understand, why the children were missing. I can understand, that Alexandra and Camille didn´t attend. They wouldn´t understand. But Louis will become 13 this year. So he´s almost a teenager and not a little boy anymore. I would have prefered, when he would have lit a candle instead of one of Ernst August´s sons. But of course I could understand, when he was afraid to attend or something like that.

simon said:It was also very touching as I now atched a film sequence of the moment the russion chellist played on Rainier's open coffin on wednesday. What is not see on the only picture that was taken of this is seen on this film sequence because the family ( Albert,Caroline, Andrea and Stephanie ) are here filmed from above their haeds - and there you can see that Andrea, who is sitting between Caroline and Stephanie is holding both is aunties and mothers hands.
Very sweet. He is always so very affectionate, specially with his 'Tama'.
liv said:What is the reason for their argument ?Caroline´s children seems to get along ith Stephanie very well whereas the relationship between Caroline/Stephanie seems to be very cold.I missed a hug of the both sisters...
liv said:Perhaps it is not the right occasion to say this but I think that there will be more arguments in the Grimaldi family after Rainier´s death.I think that there was a symbolic meaning when the siblings left the cathedral. In the cathedral(with Rainier) they stood together and comforted eachother (Albert/stephanie) even if they don´t get along really well (Caroline/Stephanie).But when they left the cathedral Caroline and Albert walked down the steps and it seemed as Stephanie was running away. Their ways divided when being without Rainier and I think this will also be the case in future. Rainier united the two sister but now he is dead and both sister won´t be seen together very often.

Very sad that this family not only lost its father but perhaps also the strength of their family(Ifear)
I feel this way, too. That without Rainier to bind his daughters together, Albert won't be enough to encourage more encounters between the two sisters. I think Rainier was very much the "glue" that brought his daughters together, that whatever their feelings for each other, they would both show up for National Days or private family dinners if only to make their father happy for a few hours. And now that Rainier is gone, I think Albert will be caught in the middle of his two sisters' feud -- there's no way that he would choose between either sister, but that means that he'll constantly be pulled in one direction or another.
Perhaps though, that losing their father who was so much a part of their lives will encourage a reconciliation between the two sisters. Loss has a way of making you forget petty fights and disagreements.
