Prince Albert, 67, and Princess Charlene of Monaco, 47, have their work cut out for them as the parents of 10-year-old twins, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella. The royal kids, who recently reached a major milestone, were one of the topics discussed by their parents during a new interview with Monaco's Royal Family. During a press conference at the Prince's Palace of Monaco to commemorate 20 years on the throne, Prince Albert answered a question from La Gazette de Monaco regarding his proudest achievements to date. "What I am most proud of is my marriage and my children, first and foremost," Albert explained (via Tatler). Princess Charlene was present for the press conference, and said of their twins (via Hello! magazine), "The children also help me stay young. It's hard to keep them under control." During the event, Prince Albert also noted that the important anniversary would be "a moment of great conviviality with the Monegasques and my family, and an opportunity to express our affection and friendship to the Monegasques and to thank them," (via Hello! magazine). An Instagram post recently revealed that Jacques and Gabriella had passed a huge milestone. "On this day of First Communion, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to Hereditary Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella who received this sacrament with faith and reverence," the caption explained. This isn't the first time Princess Charlene has opened up about her children. In November 2024, she told Gala magazine, "Gabriella is very curious." Charlene continued, "She is very intrigued by the world and life in general. She asks lots of questions and demands a lot of attention." Opening up about her son, Charlene said, "As for Jacques, he is curious and observant. [He is] more reserved, he is naturally very calm." Charlene—a former Olympic swimmer—was also candid about aging and how her body has changed over the years. "I walk, I cycle, I swim too, but not as much as before," she told the outlet. "I don't practise swimming as intensely as in the past. When I was young, I trained very hard, I challenged myself physically. These days, it's all about moderation."

In a rare interview, Albert — who tied the knot with Charlene in 2011 — opened up about leading the Monegasque monarchy since assuming the throne over two decades ago.

AFP via Getty Images 'I believe that the Principality has evolved on different levels,' he went on. 'Physically, of course, with new projects that are not yet finished, such as the new hospital, but which are important events. There was Mareterra, but there are also other great achievements.' 'I also think that the creation of my Foundation was an important step, even if the government, through various actions, was helping sustainable development projects,' he added.

Elsewhere, Charlene, 47, chimed in about their twins, whom they welcomed in 2014. 4 Albert, 67, and Charlene, 47, are proud parents to 10-year-old twins, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella.

Advertisement Though the couple's life may seem picture-perfect to the eye, the pair's marriage has reportedly been on the rocks in recent years — though these reports have been denied by the duo. In 2020, Charlene did not return to Monaco following a trip to South Africa. The ordeal sparked rumors of marriage woes, especially after it emerged that she had been spending extended time in Switzerland and would only see Albert by appointment. 4 'What I am most proud of his my marriage and my children, first and foremost,' Albert said in a rare interview. Getty Images At the time, her Instagram account, which boasted 464,000 followers, was also suddenly deactivated. Advertisement Albert's marriage has been the subject of rumors since Charlene reportedly fled the palace before their 2011 wedding — only to return and weep through the nuptials. Speaking in 2023, the princess denied there was trouble in paradise, telling South African outlet News24 that there was no truth to the chatter. 'There's nothing wrong with our marriage, and I find the rumors to be draining and exhausting. I simply cannot understand where they come from. It feels to me like certain media or people want to see us split,' she said. 4 'The children also help me stay young,' Charlene said of the pair's twins. 'It's hard to keep them under control.' Getty Images That month, Albert gushed over his wife in an interview with Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. 'Charlene is always by my side and supports me in leading the principality,' he told the outlet. 'We are a working couple and sometimes that only allows us to see each other at the end of a long day full of appointments.' Still, in early 2024, Albert was sensationally accused of hiding payments to his ex-lovers behind his wife's back.
