Princess Charlene of Monaco and her two children attended the opening of the city’s annual Christmas market last night, and it was quite a glittering event.
The 46-year-old mother of two bundled up in a brown leather bomber jacket as she strolled through the festive fair, which is located in downtown Port Hercule.
The annual Christmas Village often features stunning illuminations and chalets for all your Christmas shopping needs, with a Ferris wheel and outdoor ice rink.
Charlene appeared to be without her husband, Prince Albert, for the outing, but was joined by her nine-year-old twins, Gabriella and Jacques.
The former Olympic swimmer dressed for the occasion in stylish wide-leg pants and a pair of faux leather boots, which she paired with a cream turtleneck.
She wore her blonde hair in her typical pixie style and opted for minimal makeup.
Her twins, Gabriella and Jacques, also wore neutral colors for the outing.
Jacques matched his mother in a brown bomber jacket, while Gabriella braved the cold in a thick off-white duffle coat, complete with a faux fur-lined hood.
It comes after Princess Charlene and Prince Albert shared their 2024 Christmas card this week.
Dressed in winter sweaters and snuggled up next to a beautifully decorated Christmas tree, the smiling Monegasque royals, along with their nine-year-old twins, Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques, appear relaxed and happy in the image.
Princess Charlene looked typically elegant in a pair of straight-leg brown trousers and a chunky turtleneck knitted in a complementary hue.
The former Olympic swimmer paired her outfit with brown leather boots with high heels and pointed toes.
With her blonde hair pulled back in a relaxed updo and natural makeup, Charlene, who is usually seen in glamorous ensembles from high-end designers, showed off a more casual, homely side of herself in the new photo.
Prince Albert, who at 66 is 20 years older than Charlene, looked equally comfortable in a cream cable-knit jumper, and the couple’s twins also wore matching suits.
Gabriella wore a white ensemble of pants and a knit top, along with a pair of metallic ballet flats, while smiling Jacques looked cute in black pants and an oatmeal sweater paired with brown suede pumps.
Sitting in front of a stone fireplace adorned with festive greenery and lit candles in one of the Princier Palace’s living rooms, the family looks perfect in the image taken by Eric Mathon, the official photographer of the Monegasque royals.
The image, which was posted on the official Instagram account of the Monaco royal family, had the following caption: “The Princier Palace is pleased to share with you the photo of the Princier family greeting card.”
It has proven to be a huge hit among international royal watchers, with over 12,000 likes and hundreds of glowing comments in less than 24 hours.
