Princess Charlene and Prince Albert of Monaco share two children—twins Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques. The 10-year-olds can be quite "hard" to keep "under control," according to their mother, former Olympian Charlene. Having recently reached an important milestone while wearing adorable matching outfits, Gabriella and Jacques surpassed yet another milestone during a state visit. On Saturday, June 7, Jacques and Gabriella joined their parents to welcome the president of France, Emmanuel Macron, and his wife, Brigitte Macron, for the couple's state visit to Monaco. As noted by Hello! magazine, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella's appearance at the event "marked the first time that the children had taken part in a state visit." An Instagram post shared by the Royal Family of Monaco's official account said, "Their Serene Highnesses Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene welcomed, this Saturday, June 7, the President of the French Republic, Mr. Emmanuel Macron, and Mrs. Brigitte Macron, on the occasion of a state visit on the sign of friendship and co-operation between France and the Principality of Monaco." The caption continued, "Crown Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella were also present to greet the presidential couple, demonstrating the familial and solemn character of this official reception." Elaborating on the significance of the meeting, the caption noted, "During this visit, discussions highlighted the depth of historical, political, and human ties that unite the two nations." The post continued, "This meeting illustrates the continuity of a relationship based on shared values, mutual trust and a shared willingness to build together answers to great contemporary challenges." If Jacques and Gabriella's appearance at Saturday's official engagement is any indication, Monaco's royal twins might start taking part in even more important events alongside their parents.

Princess Charlene and Prince Albert's Adorable Twins Reach Major Milestone in Matching Outfits
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Princess Charlene and Prince Albert of Monaco are raising 10-year-old twins, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella. On Sunday, May 11, Monaco's Royal Family shared two new photos of the Monegasque royals celebrating an important milestone. In two photos, Jacques and Gabriella could be seen posing in white robes, and standing with their proud parents. "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. While Prince Albert wore a navy suit with a silver tie for the occasion, Princess Charlene wore a blue shirt dress with capped sleeves and gold round buttons. In November 2024, Princess Charlene opened up about Jacques and Gabriella in a wide-ranging interview with Gala magazine. "Gabriella is very curious," Charlene told the publication. "She is very intrigued by the world and life in general. She asks lots of questions and demands a lot of attention." Discussing her son, Charlene noted, "As for Jacques, he is curious and observant. [He is] more reserved, he is naturally very calm." Former Olympic swimmer Charlene also got candid about aging during the interview, and how getting older has impacted her sporting ability. "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." Prince Albert's wife continued, "It can be quite difficult because my nature is to want to beat records, win medals and surpass my limits." Charlene continued, "But, at nearly 47 years old, I can no longer do body won't let me. My spirit and my heart might, but my body says no!"

Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella of Monaco celebrate first Holy Communion attended by proud parents Prince Albert and Princess Charlene
Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella of Monaco have made their first Holy Communion, the royal palace announced. The heir to the Monegasque throne - also known as the Marquis of Baux - and his twin sister, both 10, marked the religious ceremony with a series of sweet family portraits shared to the royal household's official Instagram page. The First Holy Communion, also known as the First Eucharist, is one of the most important milestones in the Catholic faith. It is a key step in in a child's faith journey, symbolising their deepening relationship with Jesus and the Church, and it involves receiving the consecrated bread and wine, believed to be the body and blood of Christ. The young royals beamed as they were joined by their parents Prince Albert of Monaco and Princess Charlene at the important ceremony. A translated statement shared to the palace's Instagram page read: 'On this day of First Communion, we extend our most sincere congratulations to Crown Prince James and Princess Gabriella who received this sacrament with faith and compulsion'. It further read that the palace extended its 'heartfelt congratulations' to the prince and princess who 'received this sacrament with faith and reverence'. The prince and princess looked adorable in white floor-length robes and matching gold necklaces. Prince Jacques, appropriately called Hereditary Prince Jacques, looked wholesome as ever in a pair of black leather lace-up loafers and a well-coiffed haircut. His sister - who is younger than the future king by two minutes - donned a pair of fitting white leather shoes, while her fringe was neatly parted and styled with a gold floral headband. The siblings smiled sweetly as they posed on the grounds of the Church. Their parents Prince Albert and Princess Charlene were on hand to celebrate the momentous occasion, after which they posed for celebratory photographs. The prince, 67, and princess, 47, were pictured standing behind their children and appeared to be in happy spirits. In one image, the prince, 67, firmly embraced his son's left shoulder, perhaps signalling a physical show of support for his special day. The young royals beamed as they were joined by their parents Prince Albert of Monaco and Princess Charlene at the important religious ceremony For the ceremony, Albert - who has reigned over Monaco since 2005 - donned a dark blue suit, a crisp white shirt and a grey tie. Meanwhile Charlene stunned in a stylish dark grey ensemble with gold circular buttons. The former Olympian swimmer opted for a pared back look, as her make-up was minimal and her blonde tresses appeared to be tied backwards, allowing only a few strands loose for a parted fringe. The quartet looked spectacular and appeared to be in the happiest of spirits as they smiled cheerfully for the camera. The young royals are perhaps now accustomed to taking photographs after celebrating their 10th birthdays with a set of endearing snaps. Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella of Monaco marked their milestone birthdays with a set of previously unseen family photos. The prince and princess were born two minutes apart at Princess Grace Hospital Monaco, which is named after their late grandmother, on December 10 2014. Although the children, who are the first set of twins in Monaco's royal household, occasionally appear with their parents for public occasions, they are growing up largely outside of the spotlight. To mark their birthday, the Royal Family's official Instagram account shared 12 new images of Jacques and Gabriella with their followers. The majority of the images were taken by Eric Mathon - the royals' official photographer who took their Christmas card image too. The first undated image shows Princess Gabriella in a gymnastics uniform and matching bow while wearing a medal around her neck and holding a pair of binoculars. As she beams for the camera, Gabriella's brother, who is dressed in a white polo and jeans, puts an arm around his sibling as they stand inside a gymnasium's private seating area. The photo montage also includes a candid image of the twins laughing in a garden while dressed formally for an unspecified occasion. Princess Gabriella - who wore an ivory dress and matching coat - is pictured leaning on her brother, who is wearing a navy suit and trying to control his giggles. Another image from the same occasion shows the twins making a love heart with their hands as they pose in front of a water fountain.
