Princess Charlene of Monaco visited the Monaco SPA on December 18th, spending time with animal care workers and board members over a Christmas tea.

As president of the association, the Princess met with staff at the shelter for a warm and relaxed gathering, celebrating the dedication of those committed to animal welfare. She was accompanied by her brother, Gareth Wittstock, who serves as the organisation’s vice-president, as well as Camille Gottlieb and Mélanie-Antoinette de Massy.

The Christmas event brought together employees and supporters of the SPA, offering an opportunity to recognise their ongoing work and commitment. During the visit, Princess Charlene also met several of the animals currently housed at the shelter, highlighting her hands-on involvement and support for the organisation’s mission.

Following the gathering, the Princess viewed renovation work currently taking place at the Peille shelter. The upgrades aim to improve living conditions for animals and make the facility more welcoming for people looking to adopt or visit
