Princess Charlene and Prince Albert Take Their Twins on a Very Unique Tour of the South of France

Yahoo10-07-2025
Prince Albert and Princess Charlene of Monaco are taking their twin children, Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques, on a tour of the South of France this month. And while the region is famously a popular summer destination, this visit holds extra special meaning for the family. Their first stop on Wednesday was in the county of Carladès, which was once a former possession of the principality of Monaco.
Even though it is no longer part of Monaco, a title is still traditionally bestowed to the second in line to the Monégasque throne. Thus, Princess Gabriella is styled as the Countess of Carladès, making this an especially poignant trip for her. The young princess received a key to the city from Mayor Annie Delrieu of Vic-sur-Cère, who welcomed the family for the naming of a square named in her honor: Place Princesse Gabriella (Princess Gabriella Square). The royal family has two more stops on their tour, where they will inaugurate a media library in her name as well as a botanical garden.
For the visit in Carladès, Charlene wore Zimmermann's 'Dawning Sunray' midi dress in ivory stamp, black leather slingback ballerina flats by Gianvito Rossi, and monogram cat eye sunglasses by Louis Vuitton.$495.00 at skimresources.com380.00 at go.skimresources.com$448.00 at skimresources.com
It's a notable public appearance for the family after Princess Charlene withdrew herself and the children from a royal visit to Japan last month. The palace said in a statement on June 25 that the princess and her children would not be participating in the trip 'in light of current events taking place in the Middle East.' No further details were given on how the visit to Japan was impacted by the Middle East. Prince Albert still made the trip to Japan to represent Monaco at the 2025 World Expo in Osaka. Filling in for Charlene and the twins, Albert was joined by his sister, Princess Stéphanie, and her children: Camille Gottlieb, Pauline Ducruet, and Louis Ducruet, and his wife Marie.

The cartoon mouse, known only as 'Die Maus,' is the eponymous star of 'Die Sendung mit der Maus' (The Show with the Mouse) since it first aired in West Germany in 1971. Each short episode features other languages and educational segments.

Vandals set fire to a mouse statue that's a TV star and mascot for a German broadcaster

BERLIN (AP) — Vandals set fire to a mouse statue that's a TV star and mascot for children's programming at German broadcaster WDR, the television station said Saturday. The cartoon mouse, known only as 'Die Maus,' is the eponymous star of 'Die Sendung mit der Maus' (The Show with the Mouse) since it first aired in West Germany in 1971. Each short episode features other languages and educational segments. The statue — featuring the character's famous orange body with brown ears, arms and legs — greets families and children outside a media building in Cologne, Germany. A receptionist for WDR saw several young people standing around the statue in Cologne on a camera feed overnight Friday into Saturday. She then noticed flames and called the fire department, WDR said. The fire blackened parts of the mouse's face and arm, images show. The station said a police complaint had been filed against an unidentified person. Matthias Körnich, head of children's programming for WDR, said it's not just a figurine that was damaged. 'A piece of childhood, a symbol of joy and togetherness has been attacked,' he said. 'The mouse belongs to Cologne.'
