On June 22, 1982, the American television program, 20/20, interviewed H.S.H. Princess Grace of Monaco two and a half months before her death on September 14, 1982.

This in-depth interview with journalist Pierre Salinger is quite interesting to say the least. The late Princess discussed her life in Monaco, her family, the United States, her friends, her movie career, and much, much more.

The Funeral for the Late H.S.H Princess Antoinette of Monaco

March 24, 2011 Alexandra

On March 24, 2011, at 10am inside the Cathédrale de Monaco, the funeral for the late H.S.H. Princess Antoinette took place. The entire Princely family of Monaco was there including the de Massy family as well as friends and dignitaries of Monaco.

The Roman Catholic funeral service, led by Monsignor Bernard Barsi, was a lovely one and the speech by H.S.H. Princess Antoinette’s granddaughter, Melanie-Antoinette de Massy, was touching. A lovely tribute to her late grandmother.

After the service, at 12pm, the family travelled to the Chapelle de la Paix (Chapel of Peace) where H.S.H. Princess Antoinette’s private burial was held.

There are many photos from the funeral service as well as a video; however, I do not feel comfortable posting photos of a grief-stricken family. With that being said, if you would like to see the images from today please click the links: Paris Match, Zimbio.com , DayLife, and a Video

Mourning in Monaco

March 21, 2011 Alexandra

For many in Monaco it has been an incredible sad four days with the recent passing of the beloved Princess Antoinette of Monaco this past March 17, 2011.

In this morning’s Nice-Matin, there is an article regarding the death of the princess, what the people of Monaco are feeling as well as information about the final private service for the princess on March 24, 2011:

At 8:30 am, a Mass was held at the Cathedral in the presence of the princely family and relatives of the deceased. In the square, a heavy silence marked the sadness. Flags at half mast, black silhouettes, faces tight … “It’s all our youth who goes with the princess,” said a couple of Monaco. Many older people are actually coming very soon to make their last farewell. Because obviously, the sister of the late sovereign was a symbol of a whole generation. An end of an era that today causes much nostalgia…

Today and tomorrow between 9am and 19 pm, and Wednesday from 9am to 14pm, Monaco residents can visit the palace. They can pay their last respects to the princess and sign a condolence book before the funeral is to be held on Thursday at 10 am at the Cathedral in Monaco.
