The Song That Brought The Princess To Tears:
After the religious ceremony, the new princess left her bouquet at the Sainte Dévote Church. Saint Dévote is the patron saint of Monaco and it is tradition that after the ceremony, the bride of the Sovereign Prince of Monaco lays her bridal bouquet at the chapel's altar.
Inside of this chapel, a mother and daughter duo (comprised of soprano Marie-Clothilde Wurz De Baets and her 11-year-old daughter Juliette) sang the song Couronnée d'étoiles - Nous te saluons in honor of the Virgin Mary. Tears streamed down the princess's face as the mother and daughter sang this beautiful song.
