HSH Prince Albert's Enthronement - 2005

[fipsfoxy]

pirates rock !

long live the grimaldis

[KumarZimmerman08]

Doesn't he have a little half cast kid??

[laminage]

@KumarZimmerman08 Yes, he has Two. A Son named Alexandre by a Parisian Woman who was once a Flight Attendant who is Black, and the other is Jasmine who is about 16 now who was the result of an Affair Albert had with her Mother when he was on Holiday in The States many years ago. Now because they were born out of Wedlock, they will never be acknowledged as Heirs To The Throne, yet if Albert and his new Wife Charlene have a Son, he will be The New Ruler Of Monaco.

[JustJim70118]

Did I miss something? I did not see an enthronement. I guess there is no coronation service.

[DMcG1070]

Can women inherit the throne in Monaco, or can only men? If that is the case would'nt Prince Albert's sisters be in the line of succession, if he doesn't have a legitimate heir?

[Mende2s]

Did you photoshop the image or what is going on with the eyes of the kids at 8:50 ? Looks very creepy...

[mck718]

The older lady at the church that sits next to Stephanie - is that Grace's younger sister Lizanne? She is also on the small stage in a couple picture (outside at the palace)...just curious!

[REX74]

No thats Princess Antoinette of Monaco,sister of Prince Rainier & Prince Albert's aunt

[AngelOfTheNight2007]

This video is well-done, photos and music and all. It sure puts the "serene" in Prince Albert II's title His Serene Highness. As an aside, I am pleased to daydream that if I were to find myself in Monaco one day, perhaps the good prince might fancy me. OK, don't pinch me; I'm loving this fantasy ... and one set to Bach no doubt!

[mediaboyz]

We were there earlier this year, it is truly an amazing place!

[adelgado75]

Too bad that Albert didn't arrive at his enthronment in a horse drawn carriage.

[margoegg]

Great video.Charlotte looks grat.

[jorgecazali]

Alberto ya era hora que asumieras el trono, ahora la pregunta es por que no te casas con un hombre, si igual y ya tienes a Andrea de heredero, da el paso hombre. y vete al altar con un hombre, y no tengas mas prejuicios, eres le principe gay!

[luvs2danzz]

whats the name of the song

[Snowflake641]

Air on G string by Bach...

[Davai007]

princesse stephanies children are stunning

why is caroline such a hater of stephanie shes her sister show some love

[javoman13]

nice video.

[Creolelady281]

Can prince Alberts half Black son inherit the throne after Albert or will Carolines oldest son inherit the throne. Does anybody know?

[mbrian777]

No, The only way Prince Alberts' child can inherit the throne is if Prince Albert was to marry his mother. Monaco does not recognize illegitimate heirs.

[Lekusi]

What happens to his wife, can''t have babies?

[DanielR305]

@mbrian777 so if HSH Albert can't pass the throne down to his first born son then whom can it be passed down to in the family then it can't go down to his younger bro's can it as when he passes away his brothers I suspect will too old too serve as king to the pple of Monaco surely? so if does not pass down to his son nor his brother whom is next in line to receive the throne then? in Monaco then? I must say too the serve was a very simple service compared what we wld have in the uk I must say

[poisonproductionzz]

@DanielR305 What younger brother????

[blackaristo]

Only legitimate heirs can. Unless H.S.H. Albert marries the mother of either his daughter or son, then no.

[mck718]

I have heard that, but Prince Ranier's mother was herself illigitimate...so I guess it could truly go either way.

[damianwashere09]

Princess Charlotte of Monaco, was indeed born out of wedlock. However, had her father, Prince Louis Adolph II, not adopted her, the throne would have passed to his cousin, the German Prince of Wurttenburg. The government of France did not want a German Prince married to an Italian Princess, ruling Monaco, thus Louis Adolph (himself German born) had to adopt his only child.

[Lorettar]

The prince's love was a black woman!!! his father ABSOLUTELY opposed to this relantionship!! THEY a baby! I wonder where the black..woman...is! and also what a brave woman...to keep..herself...quiet! Wow.

[BillyBobKumar]

Actually, Albert II has two children by two different Black women. It wasn't race as much as the disgrace of ilegitimate births that P.O'd his dad. As his sole heir, Albert II "should have known better". His daugher is 16 and his son is 5. Personally, I love the fact that he appears to be prejudice-free, as he clearly loves the Sistahs!

[blackaristo]

Only one is with a woman from Africa - Togo - to be exact. The other woman bore him his first child, a girl of 17 now. She is Italian American.

The one prince that did the honorable thing was H.S.H. Maximilliam of Liechtenstein, who courted and MARRIED the former Angela Brown of New York and Panama. The other was H.I.H Ferdinand von Hapsburg, who also married an African woman named Mary. they have three children. Princess Angela has one son. I have a lot of respect for these two princes.

[Lorettar]

I believe joannejenious!!! just look at the lips of Charlotte!!!

To bad Stephanie and Caroline don't even look at each-other! what a waist!!! Steph really loves her sister! she should just IGNORE her! and of course, forgive her.....! poor thing.

[joannejenius]

Well if this is all true, then this is quite odd that they would not accept a Black woman because their bloodline of the Monaco Royal faily goes back to the Grimaldis (they are very proud of this) The Grimaldis were one of the original Black civilizations of Europe!! Check out your history books.

[Franciscus1958]

Afrocentric nonsense.

[joannejenius]

Obviously franciscus you are too sensitive to look into the history books to face the truth about the history of the Grimaldis. Never mind, never mind.

[Franciscus1958]

What reason have I for being sensitive about a prince who doesn't rule over me? I could care less. It is you who cares, since you're pushing this point of view like all good Afrocentrists, that the entire world owes everything it is or has to Africa, from the Great Wall of China and the heads on Easter Island to now Prince Albert. Give me a break.

[HRHJUJU]

the illigitament child lives in Palm Desert, CA not Riverside. And it's not a horrible place. Would they hold the Wimbleton tennis tournament and the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic and PGA golf tournaments as well as the Skins game here if it was a horrible place? And he has acknowledged her, she's actually gone to visit him. She's doing charity work of her own now.

[articmonkeyslover]

do u know where can i find information about christian von hannover??

[2000coco]

why won't albert marry?..it's not like he lacks women. he's just odd...maybe he really is gay...which is just fine if he'd just admit to it. Nothing wrong with a gay Prince ruling his nation

[Lorettar]

coco: no, he is not a gay. What happen is that HIS LOVE OF HIS LIFE is a 'black' woman....! with whom he had a baby. He did help...her, but his father MADE him promise not to marry her....! he does had a sad..story...a love story...........

[2000coco]

well Charlene has been on the scene in Monaco lately..so maybe he really is ready to settle down...or NOT! if he marries the black woman their son could legitimately be the heir. but i doubt that'd ever happen...he said so in an interview before his enthronement

[dbarn671]

As a black woman I'm saddened that its the 21 century and Europe is still unable to handle a black princess.

[Franciscus1958]

I doubt she was the love of his life, since he has a royal bastard with yet another woman.

[ArtyMac]

What? That's his enthronment? No regalia, no crown? It looks more like a regular Politician's inauguration

[cwecub]

i know ! what a rip, if i were him i'd want to wear exactly what Queen Elizabeth wore at her coronation!

[ArtyMac]

Well I did some research and found out that Monaco no longer uses any type of crown. But still being a Sovereign Prince you would think he should at least get a crown.

[cwecub]

hell i'd go buy my own at a clothing store for drag queens

[QVic]

love the background music. very soothing, did someone sample it?.

[janebutterflying]

L'amo, il bambino, E se è abbastanza bene, ho bisogno di lei, il bambino, scaldare una notte solitaria. L'amo,

il bambino. Averme fiducia in quando dico: principe ersin faikzade

[lfrankowska]

Jazmin Grace Grimaldi is father Prince Albert of Monaco right ? so She is an American and She lives in California, USA ?

[nycdamian]

Yes, she is his daughter. She lives with her mother in, I believe, Riverside, California...a horrible place. She is not a royal or a member of the royal family though. She can only be that if He recognizes her as such. And His sister, Caroline, will never allow that.

[uecarmichael]

May Albert survive fame and appreciate life far, far away from America's CIA thugs. May he and his sisters speak against incinerating children in Lebanon and Palestine which American women have been muted in doing so.

Wealth is without responsibility.

Consciousness is not.

Andra Welsh

[onecoolday]

what's the title of the background music?

[tbhrc]

That's Johann Sebastian Bach - Air

[onecoolday]

thanks. I didn't watch it till the end. sorry to bother to you.

[pablofernandezsf]
