Euronews Report On Civil Wedding:


Civil Wedding On Friday July 1st:

Monaco - Prince Albert II of Monaco and Princess Charlene are wed in a civil ceremony at the Royal Palace in Monaco on Friday, July 1. After the wedding ceremony, Prince Albert and Princess Charlene kiss and embrace on the palace balcony and wave to the crowd.


Grace Kelly : The American Princess:

Some 3,500 guests,including royalty and celebrities, attended the event at the Place du Palais.

This will be followed by a lavish dinner prepared by a celebrity chef.

Prince AlbertII, 53, and Princess Charlene, 33, married in a civil ceremony in the principality on Friday.

Earlier in the week, the palace denied reports in the French press that Ms Wittstock was having second thoughts about the wedding.

Princess' tears

On Saturday,Prince Albert II, and now Her Serene Highness Princess Charlene each said "Oui" (Yes) at the service led by the Archbishop of Monaco, Bernard Barsi.

The archbishop held the couple's hands together, before declaring: "What God has joined,men must not divide."

Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene then exchanged rings in white gold and platinum.

After the ceremony, the couple walked to a chapel dedicated to Monaco's patron saint, St Devote, where Princess Charlene placed her bouquet - as the local tradition required.

The princess then burst into tears as a young choir sang.

The guest-list at the religious ceremony included the kings of Spain, Sweden, Lesotho and Belgium, the presidents of France, Iceland, Ireland, Lebanon, Malta, Germany and Hungary, France's richest man, celebrated opera singers, top models and racing car divers.

Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld and supermodel Naomi Campbell, also attended.

The UK was represented by Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex, the youngest son of Queen Elizabeth II.

All the ingredients for the lavish celebratory meal, created by Alain Ducasse -himself a Monaco citizen - will come from within a 10km (6-mile) radius of Monaco.

More than 1,000 journalists from around the world have been accredited to cover the festivities in the principality, whose citizens number just 7,618.

Princess Charlene represented South Africa in the swimming competitions at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

The tiny principality, which covers about 2 sq km (less than one square mile), is the world's smallest independent state after the Vatican City.

Prince Albert IIhas been the ruler of Monaco since the death of his father, Prince Rainier III, in 2005.

Friday's event was clouded by press reports suggesting that Ms Wittstock had come close to returning to South Africa, after learning secrets about Prince Albert's private life.

The royal family dismissed the claims, as well as suggestions she had only turned back after royal aides persuaded her to stay as "jealous rumours".

puke green

by Setareh Sabety on

horrid color in my opinion and so soon after the son's tragic suicide! and at such a catholic wedding. here in france until very recently widows wore black for life. the gall these people have and the love to show themselves in public when there is so little to be proud of! also, it was the saddest wedding of the century. so forced. the bride looked veritably depressed. and of course he is gay. just look at the guignols take on him. really funny. I know someone who knows him personally and believe me albert of monaco is gay. remember even oscar wilde had children it does not mean that he was not gay. It is really sad to see that someone has to go to such ends to cover up something that I believe is perfectly natural and should be celebrated. and the hypocrisy of the long never ending catholic wedding ceremony. ugghghghg. really I would never wish this for my daughter. and farah should learn to turn down a couple of these euro trash parties! or at least wear a more somber color like mme chirac!

Je suis ravie pour Albert…Je croyais qu'il était homo…J’avais tort !

Oh mon dieu! Ca faisait tellement longtemps que je n'avais pas vue Caroline et Stéphanie de Monaco! Elles n'ont pas changées du tout! Quelle beautés!

Je comprends le choix de Kandinsky mais qui est Antoin Bordel? (wink wink) Pourquoi choisir cet artiste?

سلمان: آل ابا

Jeesh Daram


سلمان آقا: آل عبا خاندان حضرت محمد هستند و ما را با ایشان کاری نباشد. ولی اشاره من به خاندان "آل ابا" اشاره به خانواده ای است که دور دیگ آش و خورش مینشینند و چپاول میکنند.  " ابا "بمعنی نان و خورش است و مولوی گوید /  یا زبان همچون سر دیگ است راست
چون بجنبد تو بدانی چه اباست اشاره من به ابا در اینجا آن بخور بخور یکمشت مفتخور در آستان رضوی است که پول نذز و نیاز یک ملت فقیر را میگیرند و برای خودشان و دار و دسته شان خرج میکنند.  لذا در فرهنگ اینجانب ایشان از خاندان آل ابا هستند و اگر روزی امام بطلبدت و به آستان ایشان بروی خواهی دید که تبدیل به لاس وگاسی شده است که با جیب پر بآنجا میروی و با جیب خالی باز میگردی. مطلب دیگر آنکه شما نمیتوانی از خانواده ولایت فقیه نباشی برای اینکه این حکومت اوج اسلام است، همانظور که حکومت اسرائیل اوج صیهونیزم است و کتمان اینکه اصل این دو دین با نوع حکومتهایی که برپا کرده اند فرق دارد یک دروغ، فریب و تلف کردن عمر است.  اسلام و شیعه گری همین است و صیهونیزم هم همانست که میبینی و بخود وعده مدینه فاضله نده که آنهم سرابی بیش نیست.

Darius Do shut up please!

by Simorgh5555 on

Do shut up please! Prince Albert eats, drinks and farts lieke every one else. If he can't keep having bastard children then why should he enjoy a privileged position? If you are suggesting that 'Royals are like every one else' then it defeats the purpose of their existence altogether. How can you hold anyone in high esteem if he can't set an example and his sister is the local tramp of the tiny island. Your whole Hello! Magazine attitude and idolising Royalty for the sake of it makes people's stomach turn. Have you anything better to do than justify the existence of human beings who have done nothing to earn their privileged position as if they were put on this planet by God. You make the worse advocate for Royalty in Iran.

"... Then, last week, royal officials are said  to have confiscated her passport en route to Nice airport via the helicopter service that runs between the Mediterranean  principality and France. She was then persuaded to go on with the marriage.

‘Several sources have confirmed that an arrangement was reached between the future bride and groom,’ reported Le Journal  du Dimanche.

Sources said the Monaco palace had hoped the glitzy wedding – attended by a host of celebrities and European royalty – would ‘overshadow’ new claims about secret children fathered by Albert.

If an ‘arrangement’ has been reached, however, it may be that Charlene’s principal aim will be to produce a legitimate heir for Albert in return for a multi-millionaire lifestyle.

The prince is due to undergo DNA tests because of claims that he has fathered a third, and possibly even a fourth, love child...."

Still, nice couture choices by all!

اولا توجه کن که ما در نوشته فارسی لغت و و اژه "دویوم" نداریم و شما سعی کن از همان لغت صحیح "دوم" استفاده نمایی.  دیگر اینکه آن مطلب در مورد دکتر اقبال یک نوشته کاملا جعلی است،  چون او اصولا سواد اینجور اظهار نظر کردن ها را نداشت که حالا بیاید از اسلام دفاع کند و زردشت را بکوبد.   ایران آینده از آن روشنفکرانی باید باشد که گول هیچ دینی را نخورند و قبلا هم گفتم تمام بدبختی ما در قانون اساسی مان گنجانده شده است.   شما بجای اینکه از شاه و دار و دسته اش عیبجویی کنی، بیا و بما نشان بده نماینده امام زمان و ولی فقیهت برای ایران چه کرده و از ساخته های آنها برای ما بگو.  از شاه برای ما مثال میزنی؟ شاه خودش یک شیعه اثتی عشری بود که چپ میرفت خواب حضرت عباس را میدید و راست میرفت پنجاه تا عکاس دنبالش میرفتند مشهد که از بوسه زدنش به صحن حرم لاس وگاسی ثامن آل ابا عکس برداری کنند.  شاه خودش یکی از شما پلو خورهای صدر اسلام بود.  منتهی حسنش این بود که امر بمعروف و نهی از منکر را غلاف کرده بود و عربی بلغور نمیکرد.  این عربی بلغور کردن شیعه ها از کثیف ترین کارهایی است که یک متظاهر بدین میتواند انجام دهد. مثلا فکر میکنید اگر یک جمله را بعربی بخوانی یا بنویسی در مزخرف بودن مطلب تفاوتی میکند؟  شما از شاه بما نگو اگر راست میگویی از صفات نیک رهبر فعلی ات بگو ببینیم چی توی چنته داری. فطتپتپونه فی اخ اخکم من ضرباً زورا. قال فرعون لموسی و هارون: الخشک و ملخشک لایتچسبک. یا پسر ناصرالدین شاه قاجار خودت مراد دل همه را بده

What have Islamists being doing for the past 33 years?

by AMIR1973 on

The last people in this world who have any standing to lecture others are the thuggish followers and propagandists of "political Islam". What have they been doing for the past 33 years? Here's a brief list:

1) Executing tens of thousands of Iranian men, women, and children

2) Sending hundreds of thousands of others to their deaths during an 8-year war prolonged by their "Emam", who is the single most destructive Iranian in thousands of years of Iranian history

3) Torturing

4) Raping

5) Lashing

6) Amputating

7) Kidnapping

8) Hostage taking

9) Hijacking

10) Storming and blowing up embassies

The list is a lot longer than this. 

For an Islamist to lecture us about the Shah and his family is like a Stalinist lecturing us about the excesses of Tsar Nicholas II. Talk about "beyond absurdity".

First, whining that 'amid all these problems' from those who defend the perpetrators and founders of these problems. And as though the defenders of the rapist republic have done but 'eat, sleep, perpetuate rapist republic light, and bad mouth the very countries they would not leave for the islamic heaven'; even when their beloved khatami was in power.

Now the other twisted & confused one (i am not talking about Trita). I do like updated name for your twisted ideology " mulsim". Mulsim actually sound more like a disease or poisonous brew that it is.

"It is not appropriate for a mulsim queen who...". There are no queens in islam. Heck, there are no women anything in islam. Also, there is enough abuse inside Koor'an (aka:Quran) to screw people up for generations. No need for your subjective additions. The existing kooranic rules also should have stopped you from viewing this video full of women dressed un-mulsimic. But then again islam is nothing without hypocricy and bigotry.

"Muslim (aka mulsim) women observe a period of mourning after the
death of their children or husband for at least a year". why not 1400 years of mourning? You do it for the gutless moftkhor you call imams.

"For an Islamic democracy": now, this one is just plain precious.

My comments were in extension of JD's, so read his first khaen sefat.

درویش سلمان فرمودید یک ملکه مسلمان باید یکسال در سوک از دست دادن عزیزش باشد و سیاه پوش.  اتفاقا ایشان سی و دوسال است که در سوک و عزای از دست دادن وطنش به یکمشت مفتخوار عرب گرای پس روست که عیب همه را می بینند بجز معایب خود.  این حضور در مراسم عروسی یک توقف کوچک است در ادامه عزای این مادر، همسر و یک ایرانی.  شما این امر به معروف و نهی از منکر را غلاف بفرمائید و بگوئید این سیستم اسلامی چه بمردم ارائه داد که هر دیکتاتور در لباسی دیگر نمیتوانست.  در تاریخ ایران دو خائن بزرگ وجود داشتند، اول سلمان فارسی بود که ایران را به عرب فروخت و دوم افشین بود که بزرگمرد بابک خرم دین را به دست اعراب سپرد.   دیگر این امر به معروف و نهی از منکر خریداری ندارد و شما بهتر است بیشتر به "تولی و تبری"  خود  بپردازی.  وقتی یعقوب لیث صفار فرزند رشیدش در جنگ کشته شد، فرمان داد تا مجلس شادی بر پا کنند و سوگواری را جایز ندانست.  ایرانی واقعی دنبال ننه من غریبم اثنی عشری نمیرود مخصوصا اگر مسلمان واقعی باشد.  فقط قشری های مفتخور و فاسد دست نشانده هستند که دائما تمرکز فکری شان در این است که چگونه آبروی افراد را بخاطر عدم رعایت قوانین دینی ببرند و حتک حرمت کنند.  من اگر جای شما بودم اسم خود را عوض میکردم و یک اسم آبرومند مثل جیش دارم و یا شاش دارم و یا سنده بزرگ دارم انتخاب میکردم و از این برنامه امر به معروف میکشیدم بیرون، که هم در دنیا و هم در آخرت چیزی دندان گیری نصیبت نمیکند  آریا مهر هم همین اشتباهات و گرایشهای اثنی عشری باعث شکستش شد. هر کس بدین تظاهر کند سرانجام از نردبان خواهد افتاد. آنکه به ایران افتخار میکند نیازی به نردبان ندارد و مردم در تاریخ روی دست بلندش میکنند، اشاره به امیرکبیر است

در مجموع بِریز و بِپاشِ  فراوان بِکردَند و ما نَمکگیرِ  حضرتِ  شاهزاده شُدیم :) .

-چندْ مِلیونی که خرج شد،از کیسه خودِ  شاهزاده بود و ایضاً کمکِ  فراوان کردند به انجمن‌های خِیریه !

-شاهد دیدارِ  دو هَم میهن بودیم (و چند نفری دیگر که به بهانه این مراسم در آنجا حاضر بودند )،اول شهبانو خانمِ  پهلوی که لباسِ  ایشان چنان ما را راضی‌ نکرد و کاش آن دَستار را به سرِ  مبارک نمی‌‌بستند وگرنه ایشان هَمچنان زیبا هستند.

نفر بعد آقای آلکس دَلّال هست که ایشان دوستْ پسرِ  خواهر زاده شاهزاده آلبرت دوّم است و پیش بینی‌ میشود که ازدواج کنند.

- آقای شیراک به خاطر ناراحتی‌ِ قَلبی حاضر نشد در مراسم،امّا پیامِ  تبریک ایشان خوانده شد.

-خانمِ  کارلا خانمِ  سارکُوزی (بُرونی) باردار هستند و هدایایِ  ایشان تحویلِ  خاندانِ  گِریمالدی شد .

-چند اَعضایِ  سلطنتی نیامده بودند و یا تنها نماینده یی فرستاده بودند و بهانه این بود که گرفتارند و هزار داستانِ  دِگر که بیشتر شبیه دعواهای خانوادگی است که در قَدیم بسیار دیده میشد !

خانمِ  گوگوش به زودی در مُوناکو کنسِرت خواهد داد.

Not even all the stupid pomp and crap pyrotechnic shows of Jean Michel Jarre can cover up the fact that beneath it all you have a dysfunctional family who serve no purpose at all. Not even a role model. A role model my big hairy backside! 

If this was Iran the people would have got rid of these leaches years ago. In our monarchical  system all freeloaders and bi khasiyats were kicked out good and proper.

Too soon to attend a wedding

by salman farsi on

It is not appropriate for a mulsim queen who should be in mourning due to the recent suicide of her son (only six months ago) to attend a festive wedding. Muslim women observe a period of mourning after the death of their children or husband for at least a year.
