Prince Albert pays Homage to Victims of Nice Terror Attack and other princely news
To commemorate the victims of the recent and horrifying terrorist attack in Nice, Prince Albert II attended a mass in Monaco’s Cathedral on 2 November. The Archbishop of Monaco, Dominique-Marie David, spoke to those gathered around the Prince and Monaco’s Minister of State. Three candles were lit at the beginning of the ceremony for the three victims who died at the Notre Dame Basilica in Nice: Nadine, Simon and Vincent. The Archbishop Emeritus of the Principality, Bernard Barsi, also joined the clergy during the sombre occasion. The clergymen dressed in purple and the procession took place in the dark and in silence to symbolize a time of mourning and healing.

During the interview, the mother-daughter pair described the Principality as a place where everything is possible. They discussed the benefits of creating events in Monaco, saying that the small size of the territory allows them to accomplish things that would be impossible elsewhere. Monaco is a place of welcome experimentation, they went on to say, a place where bureaucracy is not heavy, communication is easy and there is a real synergy between all the cultural institutions. (For example, the Philosophical Meetings collaborate with Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo, the Pavillon Bosio, the Princess Grace Academy and the Oceanographic Museum.) They also said that they are proud to be Monegasques.
