On Tuesday, 13 October 2026, Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene officially inaugurated the new Ida Nursery, located within the Héméra state-owned residential complex. The ceremony began with speeches by Georges Marsan, Mayor of Monaco, and Nathalie Vaccarezza, Municipal Councillor responsible for Early Childhood and Family Services.
This was followed by a blessing of the premises by Father D. Arz, representing the Archbishop, before the Princely Couple toured the new facility.
Opened on 2 September 2026, the Ida Nursery has a capacity of 30 children across an indoor area of 700 m², complemented by a 140 m² terrace. The new facility is part of a joint initiative by Monaco City Hall and the Monegasque State to anticipate early childhood care needs through to 2030. For the occasion, Princess Charlene wore a blue wool suit by Max Mara.












Just wow! Charlene looks gorgeous in this blue suit--and the shade of blue is marvelous on her. Then Charlene with the beautiful little girl who presented her with flowers and became her new best friend--totally adorable. Its also adorable how this cute little redhead was also interacting with Albert. Next its Albert with a little tow-headed baby who seems captivated by him. But, the best at the end--Charlene on the floor playing with precious curly haired brunette little girl. 100% win for the Grimaldis today and I'm thinking its a 100% for this new nursery.

Wow, Charlene looks ethereal in this blue pant suit which fits her perfectly. Lovely pictures of her carrying the young girl. MR
ردحذفI love the way she gets down on play without a thought for her suit.The little girl loved her carry about with princess. One for the family album..
ردحذفWhat lovely photos. Princess Charlene is such a star
ردحذفA beautiful colour on the Princess. She loves children she comes alive with them. A true natural around them.
ردحذفPerfect suit giving her the flexibility to bend over. Love her hair this length. She glows around children.
ردحذفNot so convinced about the fit of this suit, but I do love this hyacinth blue colour for Charlene, which she has accented well with white (which I think is better than the light blue blouse and shoes worn by the model). Charlene's cheerful blue would appeal to young children, so it was a very thoughtful choice.
ردحذفI do hope to see Charlene in more of these colours which are neither pale pastels, nor super bright and strong, but somewhere in the middle . Lyra
I like the color of this suit. She is marvelous with children.
ردحذفBeautiful suit although compared with the model, the jacket is oversized on Charlene. Looks like a different suit almost! I hope (against a very poor history of rewearing anything) that she gets a lot of use out of it. Flat shoes look so much better with trouser suits and I’m glad to see tall Charlene showing this.
ردحذفVery odd shoes.
