France 2 Will Not Broadcast the Wedding * Updated With Good News

RTL reports that France 2 had decided not to broadcast the wedding of Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume and Countess Stéphanie de Lannoy. Budget cutbacks are given as the reason for the decision.

*Update*

Maybe, just maybe the wedding will be broadcasted on France 2 after all. Apparently, there hasn't been anything communicated about a cancellation yet. Us Luxaholics are currently looking for confirmation or denial by Stéphane Bern, the go to guy for all things royal at France 2 and would have been reporter of the wedding.

But there came other good news our way: the wedding will in any case by shown online by Luxembourgish newspaper L'essentiel. Though I have never read a definite confirmation, I am  certain that Luxembourgish RTL will show the wedding. In Belgium the wedding will be broadcast on RTL-TV1 with Christian Cannuyer acting as commentator. At this point, a broadcast in Germany seems unlikely though not totally out of question. (In case you are German and want to see the wedding, sending a nice e-mail to the channels in question will definetely help the cause.)
