If for Monegasques, November 19 rhymes with a national holiday, for the young Grimaldi generation, this date is also synonymous with giant cousins. The seven grandchildren of Princess Caroline of Monaco, born between 2013 and 2018, were able to reunite with Jacques and Gabriella, the twins of Albert II and Charlene, in order to celebrate the principality, with lots of flags, smiles and cheerful cries .
The Grimaldi cousins first met in the main courtyard of the princely palace in the company of their parents. Alexandre, India and Maximilian Casiraghi appeared serious in front of Andrea Casiraghi and Tatiana Santo Domingo. Next to them, Charlotte Casiraghi came with her eldest son, born from her relationship with Gad Elmaleh, Raphaël, 11 years old and already almost as tall as his mother. The youngest daughter of Caroline of Monaco also held the hand of Balthazar, her son born in 2018 from her now ended marriage to producer Dimitri Rassam.

Finally, Pierre Casiraghi was accompanied by his wife, Beatrice Borromeo, and their two sons, Stefano and Francesco. Aged 7 and 6, the two boys appeared very cuddly with their mother… but nevertheless attentive to the ceremony that was taking place in front of them. Jacques and Gabriella, for their part, had the seriousness of the children of a sovereign, the little boy even snapping to attention in his father’s footsteps.

The little family then left the main courtyard for the balcony of the palace from where they greeted the Monegasques who had come to celebrate their sovereign. Brothers Stefano and Francesco Casiraghi were particularly enthusiastic, waving flags to the glory of their great-uncle. Older, Raphaël Elmaleh and Alexandre Casiraghi scanned the crowd for a long time in the company of India and Maximilian.
More constrained by their status, Jacques and Gabriella remained close to their parents, still displaying broad smiles and making enthusiastic hand signs. As they approach their tenth birthday, the twins gradually seem to leave their shyness behind them and have visibly inherited the same mischief as their cousins.
