the timeless photo of Jacques and Gabriella from Monaco

Perfect child models. Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella posed for a pose on the occasion of Monaco’s National Day, this Tuesday, November 19. The twins, who are preparing to celebrate their 10th birthday, made a remarkable appearance from the balcony of the Palace. An event shared with the 93,900 subscribers of the official Instagram account of the Prince’s Palace of Monaco. An official photo was thus published, with the caption: “Hereditary Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella wish you a happy National Day.”

A photo that seems to come straight from the archives of the princely family. Indeed, the heir to the throne of the Principality of Monaco, wore traditional Monegasque military clothing, namely the uniform of the Company of the Prince’s Carabiniers, an order created in 1817. At his side, Princess Gabrielle sports a pale blue coat with a Peter Pan collar, with embroidered details, as well as ballet flats and a matching headband.

Succession is assured

Prince Jacques’ serious attitude is reminiscent of that of Prince Albert when he himself was a child. The son of Grace Kelly and Prince Rainer III made a remarkable appearance during the national holiday of November 19, 1961. Then aged 3 and a half, he honored the parade with a military salute which touched the audience.

The Instagram page of the Prince’s Palace of Monaco also published a video, where we can see the twins in the company of their parents, in the Court of Honor of the Prince’s Palace. Charlene of Monaco donned a pale pink ensemble, while Prince Albert sported the traditional uniform. The sovereign greets the soldiers who engage in the annual parade, imitated by his son, who seems to follow in his father’s footsteps.
