One shot saw her sitting opposite Mitch at a long dining table on the terrace of Café De Paris, an elegant brasserie in the heart of the district.
Nicola, 39, looked typically classy in black while Mitch smiled opposite her in a taupe T-shirt.
Among her pictures was the outside of Monaco's famous casino and part of the Formula 1 track which will be a hive of activity this weekend.
She wrote: "The most gorgeous Monday in Monaco for my dad's 60th with the whole family. The bestest trip."
When one fan asked for recommendations ahead of their own visit, Nicola replied: "Wear trainers or comfy slides for the hill. I love lunch at cafe de Paris. Coffee or a cocktail at hotel du Paris if you want to be super boujee. Have a lovely time."
One follower commented: "Gorgeous photos. It looks amazing."
A third wrote: "This looks so dreamy!!"
Nicola and Mitch have been dating for nearly three years. Last summer Mitch popped the question on a holiday to the South of France.

She said: "The Jaunt is a great way to challenge yourself, think on the hoof, and see how you and your team-mate cope with the added pressure of a race."For most of us these days, we travel with quite a fixed itinerary - this throws that out of the window. "You can't pre-book buses or trains because you don't know what we might ask you to do along the way."Race Across the World is currently available to stream on iPlayer. The JET Jaunt challenged teams to take a selfie in a certain street in St Malo, take a photo of the Owl of Dijon and take a team photo at the statue of F1 driver Juan Manuel in 2024 Lucy Gomes and her friend Sarah Parker said the challenge was "too good an opportunity to miss".Ms Gomes said: "It was so much fun, we really enjoyed the challenges and loved seeing each city along the way.

EXCLUSIVE REVEALED: The luxury Italian venue Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez have booked for their wedding celebrations
The historical Italian venue billionaire Jeff Bezos, 61, has booked as part of his wedding celebrations to Lauren Sanchez, 55, later this month can be revealed by the MailOnline. The Amazon boss has booked the Scuola Grande della Misericordia, one of the largest and grandest buildings in the historical centre of Venice, as part of the weekend-long extravaganza of celebrations. When built in 1310 it represented the 'Seven Scuole Grandi' whose members were high society dignitaries in Venice, who reached a level of such wealth and influence they were given leading roles in the state. Its walls are decorated by the city's greatest Renaissance artists. The Lonely Planet travel guides says of the large venue: 'One of Venice's seven grand confraternities, the Misericordia was the seat of the wealthy silk weavers guild that commissioned this enormous classical hall.' 'In 1532 Jacopo Sansovino was brought on board, brainstorming the idea of a Roman basilica within a traditional Venetian frame. No expense was spared on the interiors either, which were frescoed by Veronese, Zanchi, Pellegrini and Tintoretto. In 1914 it was taken over by the Reyer Sports Club, providing a beautiful backdrop to their basketball competitions.' The couple's highly-anticipated nuptials are set to take place the weekend of June 24 in the Floating City, much to the frustration of Venetians who have accused the billionaire of turning their home into a 'playground' for the ultra-wealthy - and are now planning protests to push back. A-list celebrities, politicians, and business leaders are expected to attend, which will mean beefed-up security, closed streets and airspace, and a strong police presence, just as Venice's peak tourist season gets underway. With an eye-popping price tag of $10million and a star-studded guest list that includes the Kardashians, actress Eva Longoria, and pop star Katy Perry - who all attended Sanchez's bachelorette party in Paris earlier this month - the wedding promises to opulence on overdrive. While President Donald Trump isn't expected to make an appearance, his children Ivanka and Don Jr are set to attend with their respective partners, husband Jared Kushner and new girlfriend Bettina Anderson. Guests are likely to land at nearby airports in gas-guzzling private planes - Bezos owns four Gulfstream jets - although the 61-year-old can't dock his $500million superyacht Koru as it's too big to anchor anywhere close to Venice. The massive carbon footprint of Bezos and his loaded guests will irk locals further, as Venice is blighted with polluted canals and mass tourism is destroying the fragile lagoon the city sits in. The Laboratorio Occupato Morion - a self-described 'anti-fascist, anti-capitalist, anti-racist and trans-feminist political space' - is already planning on hosting a protest event in the city on Friday at its social center, a short walk from the historic St. Mark's Square. The group has already begun advertising the protest online - sharing a flyer with an image of Bezos' head atop a rocket alongside the slogan: 'No space for Bezos, No space for oligarchs!' 'Jeff Bezos thinks he can buy the entire city - let's throw him a party!', the flyer reads, alongside details of Friday's demonstration. A lengthy adjoining caption reads : 'Venice is transformed into yet another playground for billionaires, while those who live it every day are left with discomfort, exclusion and precariousness.'

It will provide an unique opportunity to bring together decision makers, finance professionals, philanthropists, NGOs and players from the private sector to turn ambition into action," he says. Last month, Sir David Attenborough's new film, Oceans, was released in gave his lifelong perspective on the value of oceans."After living for nearly 100 years on this planet," he says "I now understand that the most important place on earth is not on land but at sea and today we are living in the greatest age of ocean discovery."The film places the oceans as being at a crossroads, needing more action to help them continue as the "planet's support system".Prince William shares that has made his admiration for Sir David, who was an inspiration for the creation of the Earthshot Prize, David's storytelling around the environment is a powerful asset in getting public attention and buy in – something the prince is acutely aware of. The visit to France is an insight into how Prince William sees his role in the environmental space and part of his development as a global attending the forum in Monaco will be France's President Emmanuel Macron and President Rodrigo Roblez of Costa Monaco?Because, over the coming days, gathered in this wealthy, tax haven, amid the super yachts and holidaying multi-millionaires, is some serious cash and investors willing to spend it on protecting marine life and the oceans they live prince's speech and meetings will largely be in public on he will also hold a closed, private session with experts and the investor a pragmatic approach to using his royal soft power to draw in people who have the resources to help generate change.

CoralVita grows corals to restore dying this year's Earthshot nominations, only 9% have entered the "Revive Our Oceans" category."We are land creatures, it is out of sight and out of mind for a lot of people," says Sam will be in Monaco this weekend and describes his approach to raising money for his business as "trying to harness capitalism for good", stressing that "you need to be genuine and maintain integrity, you don't want to blue wash or green wash".And that strategy is BBC has learnt that CoralVita has just won funding of about £6m ($8.1m) with investors led by Builders Vision – a philanthropic organisation created by Lukas Walton, whose grandparents founded the Walmart chain in the United States. It is one of the biggest funding offers for oceans work and will mean CoralVita can scale up and accelerate its restoration projects to help preserve the ocean's investment power of Builders Vision will now also support the Earthshot Prize in a newly announced partnership. It again highlights the impact Prince William can have in linking up environmental solutions with investors. Royal stardust The Prince William factor has been a huge benefit to CoralVita as it works to scale up its business."He helps getting in front of people who would normally not think it was investible or that it mattered," says Mr Teicher."We need to expand out to bankers, government leaders, tech specialists. He gets more people around the table."And ultimately this is an event where money Mr Teicher the target is always the right type of investor."We aren't looking for people wanting a traditional five to seven year return," he says. "This is a long-haul problem. We need people in it for the long haul."
