In honour of the 2024 Fête des Mères, the Palais Princier de Monaco has released a charming photograph of Princess Charlene embracing her two children, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella.
The weekend was an eventful one for the Princely family. Not only was the 81st edition of the famous Monaco Grand Prix held on Sunday 26th May, but it was also a special day for Princess Charlene – and mothers across the French-speaking world – as the date of the race coincided with the Fête des Mères, or Mother’s Day for English speakers.
To mark the occasion, the Palais Princier de Monaco released a heart-warming photograph of the Princess with her nine-year-old twins, Prince Jacques, who is first in line to the Monegasque throne, and Princess Gabriella, on Sunday.
The photograph was taken earlier this month by official Palace photographer Éric Mathon during the family’s visit to Paris, where Prince Albert II was awarded the insignia of the Commander of the Order of Agricultural Merit by French President Emmanuel Macron.
Though the exact location of the photograph hasn’t been revealed, it appears to have been taken in the gardens of the Palais de l’Élysée, Macron’s official residence in the French capital.
