Where to Watch the Monaco Princely Wedding on July 1 and 2, 2011 (International Audiences Only)

In exactly one week the princely wedding in Monaco will take place beginning with the civil ceremony in the Throne Room at the Palais Princier de Monaco on July 1, 2011.

For the past several months many living outside of Europe have been wondering, “Will the wedding be streamed online and where can I watch it?”  Well, I have just learned — via Visit Monaco Twitter — that the civil and religious ceremonies will be available to watch online via the official website for the Monaco princely family.

Here is the link.  Bookmark it.

Now, if for some reason that site crashes due to heavy traffic you can always check out  ZDF (beginning at 2:30pm Germany time) and/or Euronews.  If those sites crash as well… sorry.  Can’t help you.   🙂

Second, here is the list of countries that will air the wedding live on television and their links:

France:  You can read the information here. 

South Africa: SABC3 official site that will air the wedding.

Sweden: Read more about it here.

Germany: ZDF 

There is a good chance one of the networks in Italy will air the wedding.  Which one will it be, I have no idea at this time.

Finally, at this time none of the networks in the United States will air the wedding live on television.  Also, it is unknown at this time if TVMonde: ÉtatsUnis will broadcast the wedding as well.

Wedding Concert with Jean Michel Jarre:

If you are interested in watching the wedding concert with Jean Michel Jarre, on July 1, you can via Ustream here or here. 

As the wedding day approaches I am sure I will be updating and adding new information so stay tuned.   🙂

Charlene and Albert: Another Interview and Biography from Euronews (Yes, it’s New.)

Recently, Euronews journalist, Isabelle Kumar, sat down with H.S.H. Prince Albert II and his fiancée, Charlene Wittstock, at the Palais Princier de Monaco for an incredibly long time.

The interview was a hit (mainly because it was in English) and everyone on planet Earth rejoiced.

Anyway…

Basking in their instant success as well as approval from seasoned royal watchers and uber-enthusiastic about the upcoming nuptials in Monaco, Euronews had the genius idea to air the footage that was edited out from their original interview with the couple. So far, the interview is interesting, and yes, it’s in English.

Click here to watch.

Finally, Euronews has a short biography about the life, so far, of H.S.H. Prince Albert II.  Click here to watch.  And, one from AFP here.

Per Svensk Damtidning via TV4:

‘It’s great that we are the only Swedish channel, TV4, who will broadcast this summer’s big royal wedding where also our Swedish royal family will attend. I am also proud that Mr. Power will have an exclusive interview with Prince Albert II of Monaco for the wedding which will be broadcast on Sunday’, says Fredrik Lundberg, head of TV4’s editorial staff community in a statement.

I have absolutely no idea if TV4 will stream the wedding live online.  If you are interested click the link here to check out TV4’s official website.
