On May 30, 2024, Prince Albert II, Princess Charlene and their twins Crown Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella of Monaco watched the celebrations and procession of Corpus Christi 2024 from the Prince's Palace balcony in Monaco. The Feast of Corpus Christi (Fête-Dieu in French), also known as the Procession of the Blessed Sacrament, is a Roman Catholic feast celebrated on the Thursday following Trinity Sunday.
Fringe is the best Charlene haircut.

I agree! — a fringe subtly emphasizes her enviable high cheekbones.
DeleteI tend to disagree. I prefer a clean forehead without a fringe, and PCharlene looks beautiful without a fringe. To be honest Gabriella's fringe is not flattering. Shame and she is still a young girl. Anyway they are a beautiful family of four.
DeleteIt is ages ago that the Catholic church in my town organized a Procession of the blessed Sacrament. I remember when I was a kid, my mother and my grandmother putted candles behind the window and a crucifix. The procession took always place during the evening. When they were about to pass before our house, my mother or grandmother lighted the candles.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmothers neighborhood always had a procession for Corpus Christi. I was born on Corpus Christi. I really miss those processions.
DeleteThat sounded so lovely, thank you for sharing.
DeleteIn my village is a Procession still organized each year and yes we put candles on the windows along the row of the procession.
DeleteThe princely family looks solemn and respectful. How wonderful that these beautiful ancient traditions woven from history, art, music and love of something higher than self are celebrated.
ReplyDeleteAgree. Lovely to see them supporting this traditional occasion
DeleteBeautifully stated and so true, Shinystuffbuff. Thank you for your comment.

Charlene looks nice wearing the LBD from what one can see. I like the Traditions of the Catholic Religion to be observed this way. Lovely family. css
ReplyDeleteBelle famille dans le respect des traditions

Its wonderful to see these ancient traditions being upheld and respected. The children look lovely. I love Pss Charlene's hair styled in this way, she really suits a fringe, and its soft looking.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful family. I absolutely love it that they observe both secular and religious occasions with equal fervor. However, I do wish the children were not dressed in such dark and somber clothing for the occasion.
ReplyDeleteI can't tell, what kind of dress Charlene is wearing, but as a lover of black and from what I see so far I like it. Her hairstyle looks beautiful too. Gabriella's braid "alice band" looks beautiful.

The twins participating in the traditions of their own history is lovely to see.It’s not all F1 Grand Prix! Or glitzy events.This is a more solemn tradition. They all look perfectly dressed for the occasion.Princess Charlene hair is so beautiful.She looks marvellous with a fringe.It’s cups the shape of her face.Giving it a youthful and feminine look.

I don't remember my parents and certainly not the children had to wear black clothes to watch the Procession on Sacrament's day.
ReplyDeleteOn picture N°3, I see women in white clothes with a black veil or are it nuns ?
There are a lot of different habits in Roman Catholic religious ceremonies according to the country in which they are held.
