We probably will not be seeing any photos from this brunch after yestrday's headline, but the brunch is just another example of how repulsive Charlene and Albrt ae with htis farce of a wedding - opps now marriage. Most of us here predicted this - once Albert marries Charlene he and Monaco will be the laughing stock of the world.
Monaco royal couple host brunch before S.Africa trip 3 July 2011 Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene of Monaco, the world's newest royal couple, hosted guests for a private marriage brunch on Sunday a day after their church wedding, the royal family said. The brunch in the private gardens of the tiny principality's royal palace was prepared by French chef Alain Ducasse, creator of the main wedding feast, along with Joel Robuchon and palace chef Christian Garcia. The royal couple were due to fly on Tuesday to Charlene's home country South Africa, where the prince was due to attend a meeting of the International Olympic Committee of which he is a member. The palace said no details of their honeymoon plans would be made public, but a further party was planned on Thursday in Durban, South Africa. Albert and Charlene married Saturday in front of 800 royal and celebrity guests in an emotional ceremony that ended with fireworks and a ball for 200 of the couple's friends. Palace officials admitted there had been a "hiccup" in preparations when Charlene learned that Albert may face demands for a paternity test after a claim by a former lover.

I'm so excited to post my opinions there is one blog that states opinions must be back up with written statements-which isn't much on an opinion-anywhoooo Is there a list of special guest for their brunch? Also, what do most people think of all these festivies? Is it normal to have a pre,event and then post events? And then there was three events in one day-was that the same for pa's parents?

His parents had the civil ceremony, then the wedding and then a brunch the next day with fireworks I believe. They left on their honeymoon. I don't believe their was a third day of events but I could be wrong.

So Virginia Gallico was there. Paca saw her in a photo. But, NO LYNN WYATT? NO JB KELLY and family, NO VICKY LeVINE, NO JOHN LEHMAN. Seems many of Grace's side didn't so up. That speaks volumes to me. Is it because of the baby scandal or because they don't approve of CW. Or both!

The absence of Lynn Wyatt is interesting ... although she is getting "up there" in years so perhaps that's a reason or ... didn't her husband have some financial/criminal issues in the past few years? I thought that I saw Vicky LeVine sitting behind the couple at the Eagles concert w/Chris and their daughters. Very surprised that we haven't seen any photos of JB Kelly or John Lehman ... although I have to admit that I'm not certain the international photographers would know JB and/or other Kelly family members to photograph them.

I thought John Lehman was supposed to be there. I thought Vicky LeVine would come just to chat with the other royals. No Lynn Wyatt is significant. Countess what's your opinion on Lynn Wyatt as she's a Texas girl!

I do not think anyone should assume any one was not there because YOU haven't sen a photo of them. I don't if any photo agency has published a photo of every single one of the 800 guest. an i am more than sue no website (royal or any other) has published photos and identified every single guest there. Eventually, I am sure the palace will post the entire guest list. - Princess Conlene will see to it - so history can note all the royals who came to her wedding.

There are actually very few photos of this event in general and since Albert is not marrying an American, as Creative said, people here could care less. They are more into William and Kate who are doing a fabulous job on their first trip.

Also, by the time of the dinner, the palace started controlling which image was going to be released and the only photos from inside the dinner was palace issued - which the photo agencies noted. The palace got scared after the first kiss photo was widely criticized so they decided to only out out the image that they wanted to portray for their fairy tale wedding of the century. Too late for that! But of the photos available, I have just been too busy this holiday weekend to post them all. And, we didn't seem to have a lot of members posting either.

But you're right, we can't assume anything ... however ... Where was Brooke Shields? She would have been photographed for sure. And John Lehman would have been sitting with Caro and family. He's the head of the US Princess Grace Foundation and Grace's cousin. Plus the ex-head of the US Navy. He's very close with all of them. Lynn Wyatt was Grace's best friend, is very close with the family now and always shows up at Monaco events.

I watched TAZ's post of the guests entering the church. There were a lot of people on that.

Wasn't it Albert who made a crack during one of his interviews about not being so "snobby" or selective about invites to "his" events when asked about William and Kate not inviting him to the after party? Some pics of the snobbish Brunch from the Romanian "royals" from Albert's pool area in the palace, I think. www.princeradublog.ro/jurnal/monaco-a-treia-zi/I've moved some here. If this is a runaway bride, I'll eat my hat. Is that a trash can behind them? Not to mention the bride still can't wear a bra - nipples, dear. The flowers on the doorway didn't even make it up to the arch. More "gifts" and I think that's Carl Phillip with his side to the camera. The drape on the pillar looks like a sheet Obviously, it still hasn't sunk in that he's the village idiot. I think that's Albert's cousin in the background, no? Melanie. Still tented? HORRID decor. No imagination. Not a tent, a TARP Seriously, a ring around the tree? I've seen far prettier things from children Mandatory Ice Sculpture. Anyone have any ideas WHAT it is? My guess: A baby car seat to represent all the babies he has out of wedlock during their relationship. There are lots more at the Prince's blog from the whole weekend.

Just to refresh, for the brunch the new Catholic Princess of Monaco wore a dress with sheer panels and no underwear. Yup, trashy.
