The 10th edition of the Women of Monaco lunch has once again raised important funds for the Princess Grace Foundation, featuring a fashion show, auction, and insights on women and philanthropy by Barclays Private Bank.
The latest edition of the ‘Women of Monaco Lunch’, organised by 5 Stars Events Agency, a creation of Sandrine Knoell, and supported by Barclays Private Bank, took place on 1st October at the Hotel Métropole. Each event is organised around a specific theme, with the 10th edition’s theme being blue.
The lunch, which supports the Princess Grace Foundation, gathered members of the international ‘Women of Monaco Club’, alongside influential women from various nationalities and professional backgrounds.
“It’s always wonderful to bring this community together for meaningful causes. I truly appreciate all of you for being here and supporting this effort,” said Sandrine Knoell.

The lunch featured a fashion show by Lithuanian designer Donata Davidoff, showcasing a collection aimed at empowering women. The event also included a presentation by Juliet Agnew, head of philanthropy at Barclays Private Bank, on ‘Women and Philanthropy’. With 20 years of experience advising individuals and families on philanthropic strategies, Agnew shared insights from her career, which spans work across charities, foundations, and corporate philanthropy.
“What we are seeing increasingly with our female clients is that they recognise that wealth offers so many opportunities and privileges and also offers the opportunity to give something back to the community,” Agnew stated.
