Every year, Monaco's Princely House publishes a Christmas card. This year is particularly striking: Prince Albert (66), Princess Charlène (46) and their twins Jacques and Gabriella (both 9) appear unusually relaxed.
While the Monegasque royals usually wear glamorous evening wear, this time it's comfortable outfits consisting of pants and knitted sweaters. All harmoniously coordinated.
The picture posted by the Monegasque royal family on Instagram on December 2 shows the family as a unit. Close together. A clear message after recent speculation about disagreements within the family.
The Grimaldis want to make it clear with their Christmas photo: We stick together. The family's body language speaks of unity. While the Princess sits snuggled up to her twins on a cozy blanket, her husband stands behind her. Prince Albert leans protectively over his wife and two children with his arms outstretched.
Last year, the royal family was dressed in velvet
Nothing was left to chance when planning the photo. Albert, Charlène and the twins wear partner looks that create a harmonious image.
Photographer Éric Mathon staged the family in a coordinated setting. The photo is clearly dominated by various shades of beige and brown.
The Christmas tree and fireplace decorations in the background also match the colors perfectly. The color scheme further underlines the impression of order and unity.
"Very nice family portrait"
Last year, everything was a little more extravagant. Back then, the Monegasque royals posed in coordinated velvet outfits in front of a magnificently decorated Christmas tree.
The Christmas photo from the Princely House delights fans every year. It is a tradition that not only the Princely Family, but also other European royal houses cultivate.
The harmonious snapshot of the Princely couple and their twins is once again well received this year. The followers of the Monegasque royal family are delighted with the Christmas greetings. "Very nice family portrait. Merry Christmas," writes one user. And another wished: "The choice of clothes 😍 The children are so big and beautiful! Happy holidays to you all."
