The event was highlighted by a ‘first-class dinner’ in the Salle des Etoiles (Room of Stars), where guests entered a raffle and a jazz band provided entertainment throughout the night.

As is tradition, a work of art was donated to the Monaco Red Cross; This year, this work belonged to Belgian sculptor Johan Creten.

Titled Eloge de l’Espoir, it is ‘a hand-modeled ceramic wall sculpture that fully embodies this vision with the powerful Red Cross symbol’.

‘Painted and glazed with assured freedom of movement, the red cross evokes the improvised emblems seen in war zones or disaster zones, where the immediacy and power of the symbol trumps formal perfection.’

Young Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques joined their parents for the annual event in Monaco; here the royal family visited the exhibitor’s village on Palace Square, where local producers showcased their regional products.

The sighting of the royal twins comes as the pair have been making more public appearances in recent months and were present during Pope Leo XIV’s historic visit to Monaco in March.

Although Gabriella is slightly older and was born only minutes before her brother, Jacques is the heir to the throne due to male preference.

Jacques holds the title of Marquis of Baux, while Gabriella holds the title of Countess of Carladès, an honor bestowed upon them at birth by their 68-year-old father, Prince Albert.

At the beginning of the month, the royal family shared a never-before-seen photo of Charlene wrapping her arms around her children to mark the nation’s Mother’s Day.

Captioned ‘Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers’, the photo offered a rare insight into the lives of the young royals, who have been largely kept out of the spotlight despite being members of the Monegasque royal family.

Charlene, who coordinated the special event, wore an off-white sweater, while Jacques opted for a white crew-neck dress and Gabriella showed off a bright white dress.

Images from the same photoshoot were previously released in honor of the royal twins’ 11th birthday on December 10; There were adorable portraits of teenagers staring at the salivating image of their former Olympian mother.
