F1: Ranier dies... impact on Monaco GP?

Prince Ranier of Monaco died yesterday. Some reports said he died prior to that, but the 81-year-old was officially declared dead with this morning's news.

A few days ago, I heard a story that said Monaco has a strict three-month mourning period for the passing of its monarch... which might mean that the F1 race through its streets might be cancelled if it fell in that three month period.

I heard speculation that Monaco might do a 'Weeeknd at Bernie's' with Ranier, until the race was done, as a way of not dealing with the three-month period.
