Photos: Monaco's royal family celebrates national holiday

The Monegasques celebrated their national holiday, also called 'Fête du Prince,' in November. For the occasion, the whole princely family gathered to attend the celebrations. Even Charlène of Monaco, who was absent from the festivities last year due to her convalescence, was very present alongside her husband and children.

The festivities began with a mass at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception in Monaco, to which part of the family was invited.

The princely couple left the cathedral holding each other's arms. A gesture of affection that had become rare in recent months!

Princess Stéphanie of Monaco wore a red suit to celebrate the national holiday.

For her part, Princess Caroline of Monaco had opted for a candy pink outfit, which did not go unnoticed.

The festivities then continued in the courtyard of the Prince's Palace. The children and grandchildren were present for this stage of the celebration.

Prince Albert II presented medals of honor during the ceremony.

Prince Albert II was with his wife Charlène and their two children, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella. They looked cuter than ever!

For the first time, Crown Prince Jacques publicly wore a small officer's uniform. His sister Gabriella looked lovely in her red coat. And just like her mother, she wore a black hat.

Many other members of the princely family attended the festivities of the Monegasque national holiday. Louis Ducruet (Princess Stéphanie's son) and his wife Marie Chevalie were present in the courtyard of the Palace.

And here's the daughter of Princess Caroline, Charlotte Casiraghi, accompanied by her husband Dimitri Rassam.

Stéphanie of Monaco's two daughters, Camille Gottlieb and Pauline Ducruet, were side by side during the celebrations.

Here is a beautiful family photo taken in the courtyard of the Prince's Palace, with the children and grandchildren of Princess Caroline of Monaco.

After the presentation of the medals, the princely family appeared on the balconies of the Palace to watch the military parade. We see here Charlotte Casiraghi and Dimitri Rassam accompanied by their children Raphael Elmaleh and Balthazar Rassam, as well as their nephews Maximilian Casiraghi and Sasha Casiraghi.

Princess Caroline of Monaco was surrounded by her son Pierre Casiraghi, her daughter-in-law Béatrice Borromeo and her granddaughter India Casiraghi.

Later that day, a gala was organized at the Forum Grimaldi. Charlène of Monaco participated with her husband, Prince Albert II.

Princess Charlène of Monaco appeared dazzling at this gala. She's often been described as the 'sad princess' because she rarely smiled, but for the photographers, she did her best.

Other family members participated in the gala, such as Charlotte Casiraghi.

Here's the family posing together: from left to right, we can see in this photo Beatrice Borromeo, Princess Caroline of Monaco, Prince Albert II, Princess Charlène of Monaco, Tatiana Santo Domingo, Andrea Casiraghi, Charlotte Casiraghi, and Dimitri Rassam.
