Celebrating Monaco’s National Day: Princess Charlene’s Patriotic Attire
Morning Mass in Monaco Cathedral
Princess Charlene of Monaco marked the National Day of her adopted country in style, joining Prince Albert for morning mass at Monaco Cathedral.
The 45-year-old South African-born royal donned an all-red ensemble, exuding patriotic flair.
Prince Albert, 65, accompanied her in full military regalia.
Notably absent from the church ceremony were their eight-year-old twins, Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques.
Adorable Balcony Appearance
While missing from the church service, Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques made a later appearance on the balcony, charming onlookers as mini-replicas of their parents.
Princess Charlene showcased elegance with a red pillbox hat, a double-breasted dress coat over a red dress, and knee-high boots.
Even her earrings matched the patriotic theme, adorned with diamond and ruby floral jewels.
Monaco’s National Day Traditions
National Monaco Day, also known as The Sovereign Prince’s Day, is celebrated traditionally with fireworks over the harbor the evening before and a morning mass in Monte Carlo.
The date is chosen by the reigning Prince, and in Prince Albert’s case, it aligns with his father’s day rather than the day of Saint Albert.
Other European royals, including Princess Caroline of Hanover and Princess Stephanie of Monaco, joined the couple for the celebration.
Charitable Engagements and Christmas Giveaway
Princess Charlene has been active in public engagements, recently participating in Monaco’s Red Cross Christmas giveaway.
Wearing a navy wool gilet and joined by Prince Albert and their niece, Camilla Gottlieb, she distributed gifts to those in need.
This annual charity event is part of Monaco’s Red Cross initiatives leading up to Christmas, involving members of the royal family in gift distribution.
Rumors Addressed at Festival Des Étoilés
Addressing recent rumors surrounding their marriage, Prince Albert and Princess Charlene put on a united front at the Festival Des Étoilés in Monte-Carlo.
Despite speculation of living separate lives, the royal couple displayed closeness during the Rugby World Cup Final in October.
While rumors persist, their public appearances suggest a concerted effort to quell speculations about the state of their marriage.
Continued Royal Presence
The royal couple’s engagement at various events, including charitable activities and celebrations like Monaco’s National Day, underscores their ongoing commitment to public duties.
Princess Charlene’s fashionable and patriotic attire during these occasions reflects her continued presence in the public eye.
