Monaco – The appearance of the royal family on the palace balcony is part of the regular program on the Monegasque national holiday. Charlène of Monaco (45), Prince Albert II (65) and the twins Jacques and Gabriella (8) were particularly dressed up for this celebratory occasion. As is so often the case, mom Charlène and dad Albert presented themselves in a partner look with their offspring.

While Albert and Prince Jacques attended the ceremony in uniform, Charlène and Princess Gabriella enchanted in identical coats from DidierAngelo – Princess Charlène went for a complete look in red, Gabriella wore dark blue. Although the twins looked quite grown-up in their outfits, at least Prince Jacques might be seen on the balcony that, at just under nine years old, he didn’t find the whole process that exciting. No problem for the royal couple, because Albert and Charlène are not strict parents.
