Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella steal the show on Monaco’s National Day

Prince Jacques Princess Gabriella

In honour of Monaco’s National Day, the Palais Princier de Monaco has released two precious photographs of Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella.

The images, captured by official Palace photographer Eric Mathon, show Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene’s nine-year-old twins in two different locations within the Palace.

In one, Hereditary Prince Jacques places a protective arm around his sister on the marble staircase leading up from the Cour d’Honneur forecourt. In the other, the two face the camera confidently, hand-in-hand, beneath the beautiful archways of the Galerie d’Hercule.

Both are all smiles, with Prince Jacques appearing in full military dress, complete with the Star of the Order of Grimaldi, while Princess Gabriella wears an exquisite powder blue coat and matching headband.

The twins will turn 10 next month, on 10th December.
