Cinc, do you have info that the royal wedding will be covered by any U.S. television network?

Leni, I have been searching, but haven’t found anything yet.
TV5Monde.com the French cable station in the US might, maybe the BBC.
I’ll keep everyone posted.

Looking at it again, it looks like something from HSN of QVC, not Cartier or Tiffany’s.
With all that money, you’d think they could but some good taste.
Monaco is all glitz, glam, and bling.
If you go out fo breakfast, the ladies are all decked out in very major jewelry, even at the beach!
Monaco has zero crime, and is run like a Police State- cameras photograph every license plate going in or out, cameras on the street so everyone feels safe and protected, and they walk around town freely in big diamonds. It us really something to see
Parked around the fountain near the Casino, Hotel de Paris, & Cafe de Paris are rows of Rolls Royces, Porsches, Lamborghini, Ferrari .

........her ring looks like something from HSN of QVC.......

Sure does---too ostentatious---just screams "cubic zirconium."

Grace would never wear something like that.

And if you're shopping for jewelry, check out what they're selling on HSN of QVC.....so your store purchase won't look like it came off cable TV.

That's b/c Monaco is a tax haven---pampered mistresses of global bigwigs (with something to hide) land there (probably gambling state treasuries away).
