On Saturday, June 14, 2025, Prince Albert II and Princess Charlène, accompanied by Hereditary Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, officially opened the 6th edition of the Rencontres des Sites Historiques Grimaldi de Monaco (Grimaldi Historic Sites Meeting). The event is organized by the Grimaldi Historic Sites Federation.
Established ten years ago, the network of historic Grimaldi strongholds now includes over 80 local authorities in the French association and about thirty in its Italian counterpart. For this 6th edition, three historic sites in Haute-Loire, two municipalities in the Apennines, Ollioules in the Var, Villeneuve-Loubet in the Alpes-Maritimes, and Uzès in the Gard were honored.
After delivering his speech, the Sovereign presented commemorative plaques to the eight invited mayors, Monaco’s technical services, and the publishing house Glénat. The Princely Family then toured the village, engaging with the many exhibitors.
For the occasion, Princess Charlène wore a tiger-print maxi dress by Diane von Furstenberg, while Princess Gabriella wore a printed cotton dress by Chloé Kids.
Charlene looks lovely! Love the dress, hair and makeup. Lovely combination
ReplyDeleteMère et fille sont élégantes dans leur robe estivale !
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love Charlene's summer style! This DVF dress is perfect on her and for her. Charlene looks gorgeous here. The twins look cute although Jacques as always looks more comfortable with this public business than Gabriella. Both are dressed perfectly for the event--Gabriella is such a beautiful little girl.

Both dresses are too long. Princess Gabriella's dress looks like a beautiful night gown. I think these childeren are not being outside very often. They look so pale. I know one must be very careful with the sun, especially when one has a fair and sensible skin, but with good sun protection and not staying too long in the sun it is not dangerous. People need sunshine to keep their vitamine D3 level in balane. One can also be outside in a parc or a garden, but stay in the shadow all the time.
ReplyDeleteOn the 5th picture Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques, as twins, they seem to understand each other without words.
Please…. React normal… how stupid!!! . My Son is pretty pale too, plays in the garden and park every day. Good sunscreen you know.
DeleteHello @17.30 ! I think we have to let the twins’ parents make their own decisions on their kids’ skin. Pale is fine if that’s your skin tone. Re the dresses, I LOVE them this length, and am interested: when you say “they are too long” do you mean you wouldn’t wear them that long? Too long for what? I think they look excellent and they also feel really nice in summer by the sea. Have you tried wearing one I wonder? You might find out you love a good maxi as I do! Kind regards, a long dress wearer
DeleteBoth dresses are being worn as they were designed to be worn, as you can see from how the models are wearing them. This is not a case of ill-fitting clothes.
DeleteYour comments about their skin tone are ignorant. You have no idea how much time they spend outside. Some people never tan because they don't produce much melanin. It is strictly genetic.
DeleteIch wünschte, ich hätte das nicht gelesen! Wie kommt man auf die Idee die Zartheit eines Kindes zu kritisieren?!!! Gar Ratschläge zu erteilen und Behauptungen aufzustellen? Ich fasse es nicht - in welcher Fantasiewelt leben Sie überhaupt. Bitte gehen Sie in ihre Sonne und viel an ihre frische Luft wenn es Ihnen so wichtig ist, aber B I T T E kritisieren SIE nie wieder Kinder nach ihrer Hautfarbe!!! Unglaublich, das so ein dummer Kommentar hier überhaupt veröffentlicht wird!!! Nur mal so - vielleicht haben Sie schon von Kleidung gehört die UV Strahlen abhält etc. etc. Greifen SIE bitte keine unschuldigen Kinder an - und auch keine weiteren Menschen egal welcher Hautfarbe sie sind. -Dorothe-
Dear Anonymous, I am quite sure that these children with their light skin get enough sunlight, just the right amount, and that we need not worry about their vitamin D 3 level. We know much more about skin cancer than previous generations and it is wise to avoid over-exposure. This family certainly has access to the best medical advice.

Charlene looks great, good colour on her. Gabriella resembles her cousin Camille in photo 5. The children are dresses in age appropriate clothes. I do wish the prince would not wear a ball cap, he looks so much better in a brimmed hat. Otherwise the family looks lovely together.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, the cap is not flattering, quite the opposite.

Such a shame that Gabriella so seldom smiles
ReplyDeleteShe seldom smiles in the photos we see. Most likely not a reflection of all the other seconds of her childhood but of how it feels to be in public with many people watching her.
DeleteShe is a child, forced into a public role. How she appears publicly has nothing to do with her private temperament. She is well behaved while strangers are gawking at her and snapping pictures and videoing her. If she is still not smiling when she is in her twenties, there may be a problem (that would still be none of our business.) Stop scrutinizing a child. Not everyone is suited to public life. She is being exposed now so it will make it easier for her later. Give her the grace she needs while she is learning to handle a life she may never want, please.
DeleteAnon 17:43 - may I add to Anon 21:00: stop scrutinizing persons, children and adults. Scrutinize what they wear.
DeleteSuch a shame that Gabriella so seldom smiles
ReplyDeleteShe might do it because she doesn’t want to, doesn’t mean she isn’t happy to be there
DeleteI love everything about Princess Charlene’s look. The dress is perfect. The colors are flattering. Pss Charlene is tall enough to do justice to the length. Hair and make up are on point for a day event.
ReplyDeletePrincess Gabriella looks lovely in her Summer dress. I see her looking more like her Father everytime we see her. She’s such a pretty young lady.
Interesting outing for the family. Historically the Grimaldi family is older than some European royal families. Yet you get the impression their counterparts forget that.
Lowri.
Princess Charlene is looking very beautiful - the children are still to cute for words. They take after their parents - no question.

Comme d habitude Charléne est magnifique. Que de douceur dans ses gestes. Une très belle personne.
ReplyDeleteGabriella porte une très jolie d été. Cette petite n aime pas les photos posées. Belle complicité entre ce frère et sœur ils se comprennent sans parler.
Quand je pense il y a quelques années certaines se sont permis d écrire su ils manquaient d éducation.
Ils sont en représentation et ils savent se tenir.
Froufrou
Charlene looks so sweet and beautiful with this hair style and makeup. Most importantly, she looks deeply at peace and healthy. Lovely children! MR
ReplyDeleteTrès jolie robe pour Charlène, j'adore les motifs. J'aimerais cette robe avec d'autres coloris : bleu outremer ou rose framboise. Paloma.
