All You Need to Know to Watch and Enjoy Monaco Princely Wedding! Links and Online Streaming Galore!

Well, the day is finally here when H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco will no longer be the world’s most eligible bachelor. Finally, he is lucky enough to marry former Olympian, Miss Charlene Wittstock, after dating the future princess since… forever.

Anyway, here is the information you need order for you to enjoy the lavish two-day princely wedding festivities in Monaco.  If some of the links crash due to heavy traffic or simply do not work on your computer… don’t blame me.   🙂

ONLINE STREAMING: 

Where to watch the wedding is my original post from June 25 regarding the links in order to watch the princely wedding online. Here are the links again:

  1. Palais Princier de Monaco and/or here. Or, try this link here! (Le Marriage Princier Live. The ceremony begins at 5pm in Monaco.  These three links I highly recommend so remember them.)
  2. Euronews (Here is my original post from June 26 which gives you the complete schedule for both July 1 and 2 ceremonies.  It’s a good idea to use both links just in case the link from the Palais Princier de Monaco crashes due to heavy traffic.***I wouldn’t count on Euronews. Their online streaming has been wonky.***)
  3. TV4 Play (Originally posted on June 26 when it was announced that the Swedish network would air the wedding live on July 2 only.
  4. ZDF (Germany will only air the religious wedding beginning at 5pm in Monaco.  Click to read my original report and to find out what time ZDF will begin airing their broadcast here. 
  5. France 2  or France 2  (You may be able to watch the religious wedding, on July 2 only, on either of these links if you live outside of France.  So far, I have been able to watch all of their videos without any problem.)
  6. UStream (Marriage Princier Live is the official channel on UStream where you can watch the latest videos and live contents from the princely wedding of H.S.H. Prince Albert II with Charlene Wittstock. Provided by Monaco Info.) 
  7. RTBF

At 9pm it is time for the lavish gala princely wedding dinner at the Opéra terraces at the Salle Garnier. At 10pm  EuronewsNC will continue their broadcast with a brilliant, yet not so environmentally friendly, fireworks show by Jacques Couturier, “…best-known producer of firework displays in France, to put on an “opera of fire” above Monaco’s harbor.” (source)

Charlene Wittstock and H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco: The Civil Wedding

It was announced this morning by Mr.Philippe Narmino, Director of the Judicial Services and President of the Council of State and the man who will conduct the civil ceremony on July 1, that the two witnesses for the civil marriage between H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco and Miss Charlene Wittstock are: Mrs. Donatella Knecht de Massy and Chris Levine.

This news isn’t exactly surprising to many seasoned royal watchers who always believed Mr. Levine would be the witness and best man for H.S.H. Prince Albert II.  As for the future princess’s choice, again, no surprise here.
