At the time of his massive royal wedding, Albert was already 53 years old.
This put a lot of pressure on Albert and Charlene, as all eyes fell on their family.
On December 10, 2014, the naysayers finally had to bite their tongues.
Charlene gave birth to two beautiful babies: Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques.
The births of the twins finally put all issues of inheritance to rest.
As of the publication of this article, Jacques is posed to become the next reigning prince of Monaco.
As the royal siblings prepare for their illustrious futures, they will have a lot to learn.
Luckily, as they grow older, Jacques and Gabriella are also growing into their roles.
In a conversation with French outlet Gala, Princess Charlene described Gabriella as the more outgoing of the duo.
“Gabriella is very curious.
She is very intrigued by the world and life in general,” Charlene revealed.
The princess went on to say that Jacques, meanwhile, is more laid-back.
“[H]e is curious and observant.
He is naturally very calm,” Charlene added (viaTatler).
If anything, the twins' parents hoped to shield them from the pressures of public life.
After all, growing up famous is not necessarily great for establishing normalcy.
“We don’t want to put them into the spotlight too much.
Accompanied by their parents, the twins attended the official opening of Miniatur Wunderland’s Monaco-themed exhibit.
As they observed the display, the twins behaved like a pair of veritable little royals.
Both held their heads high as they entered and exited the event location.
Photographs from the visit reveal that they both appeared engaged yet restrained throughout the tour.
It seems that Gabriella and Jacques are already growing into responsible future leaders.
As two young royals, Gabriella and Jacques are also expected to project a positive image to the public.
Luckily, the pair are already well on their way to achieving the intended effect.
Dressed in royal military regalia, Jacques looked every bit the part of the future reigning Prince of Monaco.
Gabriella, meanwhile, wore a stunning blue coat and matching hat stepping fully into her princess role.
The twins' parents, Prince Albert and Princess Charlene, have long faced rumors about their marriage.
Gabriella even managed to wave to the crowds and perform her duties in spite of the scrutiny.
Another one of the royal nannies was allegedly in possession of a counterfeit document.
In one diary entry, Palmero claimed, “HSH the princess employs people who are not legal.”
In another, he alleged that Albert had taken “note.”
The prince and princess have already shown signs of graciousness by being kind to those around them.
This was clear on the occasion of their father, Prince Albert’s, 65th birthday.
Speaking toPeopleabout the kids' plan, Albert revealed, “It’s going to be very subdued.
We’ll have a little family lunch on Tuesday.
Afterward, when the children return from school, I’m going to be kidnapped.
I’ve been told to be available to be kidnapped.
And, naturally, this culture of giving very much goes both ways.
Nonetheless, the couple was sure to return to Monaco with gifts for their children.
After all, they didn’t want Gabriella and Jacques to miss out onallthe fun!
“There’s an opportunity to bring them to New York if we can get them out of school.
There’ll be a celebration honoring Monaco’s 30th anniversary as a member of the United Nations.
Throughout most of the greeting session, the twins waved at the crowds with big smiles on their faces.
As the ceremony progressed, however, the children began to tire.
Both children were photographed leaning their faces into their hands.
At one point, Prince Albert had to bend down and whisper something into Gabriella’s ear.
As her father seemingly encouraged her to participate in waving, the princess produced a sour expression.
Like theUnited Kingdom’s Princess Charlotte, the royal twins of Monaco may just be Taylor Swift fans.
“The heart-hand symbol means something between ‘I love you’ and ‘thank you.’
Apparently, the singer would use this gesture as a way to spread positivity during her high school days.
Speaking about this matter to Gala, Charlene revealed that Gabriella has grown increasingly fascinated by different clothing styles.
“Over the last few months, I’ve noticed that she’s more and more interested in it.
She likes what she likes, and what kind of clothes she feels comfortable in.
But she’s still very young,” Charlene revealed (viaHello!
In December 2024, the mother/daughter duo were photographed in Monaco’s Place du Casino in matching outfits.
Both wore classic V-neck pea coats paired with some much-needed wintertime neck coverage.
Prince Jacques has also begun to emulate his father, Prince Albert especially on ceremonial occasions.
On National Day 2024, Jacques was spotted wearing full royal regalia.
At one point during the ceremony, Jacques practiced his salute, charming royal fans across the globe.
