Prince Rainier's funeral - 2005

[frankjunior25]

Wow,this was a sad and touching video. It seems to me like the royal family are very close. Just by the pictures of Prince Albert holding his sister's hand, (Im not sure who it was I think it was Princess Stephanie), and Princess Caroline's son supporting is sister while she walks down the steps. I found it very touching. RIP Prince Rainier of Monaco.

I'm just a fan of Monaco and the Monegasque people/culture, but Rainier III was one of the best monarchs ever. He transformed Monaco's image from being a playboy's playground and a place to hide from income tax to being a legitimate and well respected member of the international community which, despite their small size, continues to make a global impact on numerous affairs. RIP Rainier III.

They have my sympathies. It is refreshing to see that they are not so stuck up as to not show their emotions in public. It just drives me nuts when some public figure dies and their family is there expressing nothing. This funeral was so so sad. Very touching pictures here. Excellent clip. I also see that Princess Grace's grand daughter has all of her grandparent's looks. She is striking absolutely striking.

Princess Grace's grandaughter = Hot!

Нет и не будет не у кого людей ближе и дороже чем мама и папа.Смотрю порой на фото.На глаза ушедшего Принца.В них ум и доброта.Какую сильную семью они воспитали.Как умеют держать себя в руках не смотря на горе, но по лицам все таки видна скорбь и печаль.Мои искренние соболезнования.Надеюсь что на небе самая красивая пара в Мире снова вместе!Царство ИМ-Небесное!!!

@DanielR305,

I agree with your comments about holding respectful memories for royalty,with the exception of our current monarch,Elizabeth II.She is the last of what true monarchy represents,chosen by god,in the service of her people.After her death then I'm afraid british monarchy will no longer hold any appeal or mystery.The film of HSH,Prince Rainier III's funeral was actually quite touching.And,Adagio for Strings so appropriate.

[WIZZINGSHIRE]

the perfect music for such a sad day. :(

[DanielR305]

I think rainers funeral will be the only funerzl that will honoured for a long with respect as most other European monarchy's are cursed somehow with scandals and controversy's especially our British monarchy's I can't see any funeral regarding British Royal family's especially no regard for Charles and especially Camilla's funerals that's for curtain. The only time I can see a scandal free British Royal family is when The queen and charles and other elders pass away which will be a while yet

@DanielR305

I think that Juan Carlos will also be genuinely and widely mourned, even by most of Spain's republicans, for his efforts in establishing Spain's modern democracy. However, I also believe you are correct in that he and Queen Elizabeth II will be the last of their kind in representing traditional monarchy

Goodbye, Prince Rainier of Monaco. The world will miss you!!!

[kdrench]

Nice to see how they were morning.

And the mother didn´t had the nots/guts to ask her son to have a haircut before his granddads funeral.

The "Show" in Monarco goes on and on and on.

And now it stops, I guess.

Grace Kelly and him self, Rainier, couldn´t make it worke for their children. - Who can?

It is a petty.

Dommage. Il faut qu´il y a quelqu´un qui ait le courage et l´humeur de se consolider en prenant la tête de cette belle place de la terre méditéranné.

[gummie1066]

maybe the guys like their hair that way have you thought of that and i think thier mum had more on her mind at that time like burying her dad then to wory bout that

[javoman13]

nice video.

[strawberrypanic81]

well...good video. Bt I'm in 2 minds about it - why publicize something so personal & tragic? Royals or no, every family deserved their own privacy.

[KURarEp]

there the one who wanted a state funeral

[Lorettar]

Only Raineir knew in his heart! He never really look....happy to me! But his children have nothing...to do with what-ever he did before......! bless their hearts.

[johnson01]

The forefather of the Grimaldi's was a brutal fisherman who murdered two kindly guardsman by cutting their throats after they gave him lodging. He then strolled into Monaco and took the throne for himself. Who can mourn for such an ignoble family?

[Oualtaire]

Because his descendants behaved honourably and nobody is to be blamed for what their ancestors have done.

[misteeq64]

I guest Albert children since illigitimate did not deserve to be their ,i can promise you if Alexandre Coste had been more caucasian he would have been next to the throne.

[Franciscus1958]

Not unless his mother was the wife of Prince Albert. That's the only way a royal bastard could get the throne. The parents would have to marry at some point.

It's Samuel Barber - Adagio for Strings

[WhiteIguana]

Same piece of music that was played at Princess'S Grace's funeral in September 1982. It still touches the heart. Thanks for sharing this video with this piece of music. Extremely touching.

[HDN1eves]
