On December 31, 2023, Prince Albert, accompanied by Princess Charlene, delivered a new year speech for 2024. Prince Albert's traditional New Year's speech took place at the Prince's Palace of Monaco. The video of the speech has been released on the couple's social media account. In the video, Prince Albert and Princess Charlene wishes everyone a happy new year. Princess Charlene wore a new burgundy velvet gown by Ralph Lauren.

Charlène est magnifique dans cette robe de soirée en velours Bordeaux ; si j'ai bien vu ses boucles d'oreilles pendantes, elles ont un petit air de ressemblance avec un modèle porté par la reine Mathilde ; toujours très bien maquillée !
ردحذفWell said. Magnifique.
حذفToujours très chic sobre pour la jolie Princesse Charlene
ردحذفDes regards qui en disent longs pendant le discours
Froufrou
Yes, Prince Albert does not look very cheerful while delivering his speech ; there are so few positive developments around right now. Let'us hope. Best wishes to all of You !
حذفThis is a flattering beautiful dress, bit much for a new year speech for some.
ردحذفi hope we get to see it again at a ball event
Remember its Monaco, known for it glitz and glamour!
حذفYes very flattering dress.
حذفNice dress in a lovely colour./fabric but I'm not a fan of the asymmetrical neckline. It makes me itch to straighten it up!
حذفBeautiful dress, perfect for this occasion.

Right...and where is the speeches from King Philippe, Felipe, Harald, Charles and Carl Gustaf? If we mention one or two we should mention all.
ردحذفThey dont all do new years messages. Some do just the xmas speech (charles), others itsnot part of their tradition
حذفKing Carl Gustaf delivered his speech at Christmas.
حذف-SAF
Was there fashion to critique? That is the point here. I have seen a couple of them, and their wives were not present.
حذفCarl Gustaf always gives a Christmas speech
حذفI know they delivered their speech on christmas, but I guess you guys didn't take the point. So next year only Albert will be mentioned since Charlene has a dress on...20:06 so you are only here to critique outfits? Really? There is soemthing wrong with us if we are only out to critique a fellow human being. This is a royal blog, so then what they do and say should also be mentioned. And none of the Kings holding speeches during chritmas or new year has been mentioned on this blog. For years we have seen Elisabeth's and Margrethe's speech has been repeated word for word, but not the mens because they are not wearing a dress and that is to stupid. One for all if they wear a dress or a suit.
حذفThere is no difference between a speech that is given at Christmas or at New Year. It is the content of the speech that counts. All the speeches of all the kings and queens of Europe has been broadcasted on television, you tube, instagram, etc... No need to repeat it on a fashion blog (not even when a queen consort or a princess is appearing next to her husband).
حذف14:30 but still this blog every year told us what Elisabeth and Margrethe said in their speeches, but not one of the Kings.
حذفUhm, a high profile debate....about what, sorry?
حذفThey both look quite qrumpy 🤭
ردحذفWhat is there to giggle about? These are screen shots, not a photo shoot.
حذفBeautiful bordeaux color for Princess Charlene long velvet dress. However the cut of this dress does not fit P Charlene, she looks broader than she is because the bodice is too tight.
ردحذفAgree !!
حذفBesides English and French what was the third language the used at th he end of the
ردحذفspeech?
Monegasque
حذفThank you Anonymous 3:22

Oh, thank you, @ Deadeggs.
حذفCharlene looks simply spectacular.
Pss Charlene looks stunning. Lovely gown and color. I wish she would have spoken more. css
ردحذفshe just stood there to look cute and make him look good
حذفI wish the princely family of Monaco would put a little more effort into these official messages and appearances.
ردحذفMonaco is one of the oldest monarchies in Europe, and yet the cold lighting and the absolutely tacky Christmas decorations makes it look as if we're looking at a low budget Lifetime movie, not a beautiful palace with so much history. Their annual photos are not much better, somehow I think they could afford a good photographer. Just look at the amazing work of Matt Porteous with the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Monaco looks more festive than the blank and white blank background of the Wales
حذفI hope you don’t mean the royals should emulate the PPW. Amazing work at staging their appearance. As far as decorating that is personal preference. Clothes wise I much prefer Princess Charlene’s choices, more flattering to her figure.
حذفPerhaps it is due to their target group - Monaco's business model is tax evasion and gambling.
حذفSome people would prefer to call it "Tax Management".
حذفAnd gambling, well that's everywhere. 😁.
Don't have to go to Monaco to get involved in that.
Just go to you newsagent's shop and you have a big choice of "scratch cards" that you can burn your money on.
@deadeggs. One can hardly compare the "scratch cards" with the casino's in Monte-Carlo.
حذفThis gown is very becoming, elegant and stylish. Love the rich burgundy color. Her hair color, I love, suits her well. The style and cut is perfect for her, very trendy.
ردحذفThe other Kings and Queen holds a speech, Albert a 3 minute greeting.
ردحذفAnonymous @ 10:19. I’ve always understood this blog to be about fashion, and sometimes meandering into other subjects, I can’t imagine anybody visiting this site to debate the merits of speeches and/or political issues in any depth. I would humbly suggest other publications for that sort of endeavors, perhaps you won’t be as disappointed with the comments.
ردحذفI love this dress, is elegant, sober and has a very original cut, Charlene looks fabulous, however I don’t seem to remember her being so busty 😉.
As a final note, I want to wish you all, a most prosperous 2024, filled with happiness and good health.
Regards
Cherry
So you don't have a problem that this blog for years repeatet what QE og QM said in their speeches since they wore a dress, but none of the men was even mentioned?
حذفSorry but I'm a bit lost with this speech conversation/discussion.
حذفMust be time for me to put the kettle on. 😴
@Cherry. Absolutely agree with you. Best wishes for a happy 2024.
حذف@Anon 06:59 Calm down. It didn't bother you all these years, don't let it bother you now. Read Cherry's comment, first paragraph, and act accordingly.
@Deadeggs. May I impose on you? Earl Grey is my poison. Should I bring cake? Best wishes Lucy
Dear Lucy - yes, a nice bit of Christmas cake would go down well with a cuppa and we'll stick to fashion by guessing what Mary is going to wear on the corination day.
حذفDear deadeggs, whatever she's going to wear, she'll look fabulous. Maybe something along the lines of the Brits? Do you have a favorite? Mine would be navy-blue. We'll see and in the meantime we'll have a jolly good time. Lucy
حذفYes, Matt Porteous does a masterful job at photoshopping, doesn't he?
