On the evening of January 26, 2025, Monaco came together to honor its patron saint, Saint Devota, in one of the principality's most cherished traditions. Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene, along with Crown Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, attended the symbolic boat burning ceremony at Port Hercule in Monaco.

The boat burning ritual commemorates the miraculous story of Saint Devota, whose body, according to legend, washed ashore in Monaco in the 4th century after being placed in a boat. The celebrations of St Devota take place on January 26 and 27 in Monaco, with the symbolic boat burning held on the first day as a key tradition bringing the community together.

  1. Trop mignons les jumeaux - Il me semble que Gabriella ressemble de plus en plus à sa charmante mère ; elle est très élégante dans son petit manteau à carreaux !

      I worry that the princess daughters of the royal women who’ve changed their noses may end up with their mother’s original nose shape ; but in this case Gabriella appears to have instead a Grimaldi nose and it’s very cute on her. Jacques’ profile is perhaps somewhat more like Charlene’s original; he too is very beautiful and I love to see him laugh.

    The children look so cute. There was a time they dressed like mini celebrities,thankfully that time as gone by.
    HSH looks super in her berry colored coat. Hair and make up have really been on point of late.

    I love the closeness of these twins. May they keep it and develop it further.

    The boy is a photocopy of his mum.

    Princess Charlene is beautiful and appears healthy. Whatever her personal situation is, I think it would please everyone, (especially her children who seem to mirror their Mother's demeanor), to smile more often.i dont advocate phoniness, just a more relaxed attitude.

    Ma perchè???
    Pourquoi les descendants masculins de la famille princière portent-ils toujours des pantalons trop longs, qui ne sont pas adaptés à la longueur de leurs jambes (una « 7 » nelle calzoni) ? ???

      Maybe Prince Albert fears getting taller overnight 😉 Helena

  8. The last photo of the twins laughing as opposed to posing is great. They are lovely children and are smartly and appropriately dressed. Lovely family

    Albert and Charlene have a lovely family! The twins are beautiful children. The children look like they are having a wonderful time at the ceremony. The whole family looks great in their winter wear, bundled up against the cold.
