A couple of days ago I mentioned that the Swedish channel, TV4, would be airing the Monaco princely wedding live on Swedish television along with an new interview with the couple.
Well, here is the Swedish interview; roughly 6:15 minutes. Click here to watch.
Finally, it seems that TV4 will stream the wedding live online so you might want to bookmark the link here.
In one week, Miss Charlene Wittstock will finally marry her longtime boyfriend, H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco in a two lavish ceremonies in Monaco. But, before she officially becomes the princess of Monaco, the former Olympian flew to Athens, Greece to participate in the opening ceremony for the Special Olympics World Summer Games, Athens 2011.
As the global ambassador for the Special Olympics is was her duty and pleasure to attend the opening ceremony to support the athletes as well as to mingle with other distinguished guests.

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: États–Unis will broadcast the wedding as well.

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.
According to the Swedish magazine, Svensk Damtidning, the television network, TV4, will air the princely wedding between H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco and Miss Charlene Wittstock on Saturday July 2, 2011 beginning at 4:30pm.
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.
