On November 29, 2025, Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene, accompanied by their children, Hereditary Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, attended the opening ceremony of the Christmas lights at Place du Casino. The event, organised by Société des Bains de Mer, marks the official launch of the end-of-year festivities and decorations in the heart of Monte-Carlo.
The Princely Family activated the light display, accompanied by Christmas melodies. The monumental Christmas tree lit up first, followed by the five giant snow globes. Shortly after, the façade of the Monte-Carlo Casino illuminated. For the occasion, Princess Charlene wore a paisley jacquard double-breasted coat by Etro, and Princess Gabriella wore a wool-alpaca blend coat and an A-line dress by Dior Kids.
Charlene's coat is a work of art; i like the pattern, and how she matches her long coats with boats, a scarf and gloves, very elegant!
ردحذفGabriella is looking more like Grandma Grace everyday, i like her neat hair do
Who knows how she will look later - at the moment, Gabriella is a really pretty little girl, but without any detectable similarity to Grace Kelly, here at 12 years old: https://www.instagram.com/p/B9poBLFnRvp/ .
حذف@Missy I see a family resemblance to her Dad’s sisters in her eyes area - and shaping more like her Mum’s original facial shaping in the lower part. Very pretty as 17:13 says, and always wonderful to see a child’s face blossom into their own beauty.
حذف@17:13 Gabriella resembles her dad, who in turn inherited Grace's coloring and most of her features like eyes, nose and lips. I agree with @13:11, as she becomes older she's resembling Grace more and more.
حذفHi Missy.
حذفI completely agree with your comments about Charlene ' s beautiful coat.I would love to know how much it costs.
Just to be anal I think you meant boots rather than boats!
I too think that in some photos Gabriella does show a resemblance to the late Princess Grace.
Cate.
Agree with you, Missy. Princess Charlene’s outfit is perfect. I love the children in their smart, classic outfits and, like you, have commented before on the resemblance between Princess Grace and Princess Gabrielle. I also see a similarity with her cousin, Camille Gottlieb
حذف@01:34 the coat is now on sale for €1794, down from its original price of €2990

@01:34 i think you meant just be 'clear' instead of 'a**l'. thats funny thou correcting one's typo only to make a bigger one
حذف@09:12, what @01:34 wrote is correct. Anal, as used by @01:34 is very commonly used instead of the complete term "anal retentive" or "anal retentiveness". You should look it up.

Mascara on the girls lashes??
ردحذفshe is at that curious age where she plays with mommy's makeup.
حذفwe have seen her and other young Royals her age wearing nail polish too.
could be her natural eye lashes. they are the same from photos when she was younger

Charlène looks beautiful here. I love the picture where she's gazing up at the Christmas lights. And if you have to do camels and browns - this is definitely the way to do it. Fantastic coat, she can absolutely wear the length without drowning in fabric and I think the crisp white scarf and the slouchy-er boots give the look a nice twist.

Love to see photos of the beautiful scene with the huge tree!
ردحذفAs for the fashion, this family keeps turning looking fabulous. The coats on mom/daughter are both beautiful and well fit and the father/soon looks very handsome as well. Can’t wait to see the family Christmas photo!
Magnifique le manteau croisé ceintré qui épouse à merveille la silhouette de Charlène -- Délicieuse Gabriella vêtue avec beaucoup de goût ; j’adore ses délicates boucles d’oreilles perles et diamants !
ردحذفJe viens des photos de la princesse Grace dans les années 60 et bien Gabriella a des traits de sa grand mère. J écris en toute objectivité, je ne suis pas douée pour les ressemblances
ردحذفA pity these children are always dressed to old for their age. I just deleted my comment in which I described what I would change on their outfits, because we cannot write and describe what we see when it is about children.
ردحذفPrincess Charlene's coat has a beautiful color and the print on the fabric is original. I do not like the (leather ?) stitches in the waist area which ruin the fit of the coat. In front it is more or less OK, but seen in profile it is not beautiful and it is not the same as on the model where it is even worse. Her brown leather boots and brown leather gloves are classic and beautiful.
I see it less as old, it is classic-traditional and most royal families do it for a good reason - in order for them not to look too fashionable, which means: not looking somewhat ridiculous when looked at later, because fashions are not enduring, as opposed to classic style. - I never understood the wish that royals and royal children should look as everyone else. It is part of their job to be different and I sure appreciate it. If I want to see "everyone else", I go for a walk in the city.
حذفIn other royal families the childeren are dressed like childeren. There are several expensive brands for young children and even when they are growing up. I didn't say they have to look like teenagers wearing street style, but none of the royal families dressed their childeren in haute-couture before they had the age for it.
حذفJe n'avais jamais vu un aussi beau manteau.
ردحذفPorté avec ces bottes et gants:Charlene est élégante de la tête aux pieds.
Toujours le même radotage:"Ces enfants sont habillés trop vieux pour leur âge "
ردحذفLes vêtements de ces enfants sont achetés dans des rayons pour enfants de leur âge.
Point.
… yes but one has to admit, they are older styles. The young prince is dressed ready for a career in banking! That said, he might really enjoy it, so I’m not judging it, but saying I definitely see the same as the other commenters.
حذفJe suis impatiente de recevoir leur carte de vœux. J espère que ce sera une nouvelle photo
ردحذفFroufrou
We’ve seen a shift in image from Princely Family. We see the children dressed in their ‘on duty’ clothes, and then we see them in their own clothes during their downtime. We’re seeing less of the celebrity dressing,and more royal protocol dressing.
ردحذفJust as it should be. The twins will have decades to come representing their country on the global stage, as will their counterparts George,Charlotte Louis of Wales.
As for today’s look,I’m loving HSH coat! The pattern gives it an old worldly feel to it. Princess and Albert look fully relaxed and enjoying the family time together.
Princess Gabriella looks cute in her white ensemble. Her hair back.
Jacques is growing into a handsome young g chaps, I can see in the years to come he’ll a heartbreaker!
Lowri
Beautiful photos. The children look perfectly groomed and attired for a festive and public event - high profile. They are growing into in their futures with parents who appear to be watching over them carefully. I am sure their private time is much more relaxed. The 6th photo with Princess Charlene looking upward is stunning. She has an angelic look with minimal makeup and jewelry.
ردحذفI hope that they will let their children feel that they are perfectly fine as they are, so that their daughter will not feel that she has to undergo the same treatments as her mother. I also feel that we should stop comparing them to their grandmother all the time.
حذفPrincess Charlene's coat is beautiful. The color of the boots, gorgeous, really like this color and looking great with her coat. I think she is wearing a cream scarf? the dark brown gloves, offset the color beautifully, great combination. Princess Gabriella looks beautifully groomed and attired, age appropriate. I love what she is wearing. Her earrings are gorgeous, I would wear these!
ردحذفPrince Jacques, looks wonderful, love his outfit. They are lovely children.
ردحذفBeau décor illuminé, la façade semble décorée de caramel et de sucreries comme dans un conte de fées.
Ce manteau de Charlène est beau (couleur, forme, longueur) mais j'aime moins les motifs. Les rajouts lacés en cuir de chaque côté de la taille ne sont pas du tout à mon goût. Lien ci-dessous, il faut faire défiler les photos (mais la flèche blanche sur fond blanc est hélas peu visible) et les gros plans en détails sont bien visibles :

J'aime beaucoup ses gants et ses bottes couleur marron glacé, ainsi que son écharpe couleur crème, comme un dessert de Noël.
Jacques a un beau sourire et une jolie cravate assortie à ses yeux. Il est habillé avec élégance, assorti à son père.
La tenue de Gabriella est parfaite pour l'hiver, douce et chaude, blanche et pailletée comme la neige. Elle est effectivement légèrement maquillée : fard à paupières et mascara, et aussi gloss rose. Elle était également maquillée pour la fête nationale (paupières). Si ce lien fonctionne :

Pour des occasions de fête ce n'est pas choquant et ça reste discret. Paloma.
