The royal schedule of the Princes of Monaco was full this weekend.
While Chàrlene visited the maternity wing of the Princess Grace hospital center last Friday, her husband, Albert II, traveled to Spain to explore the rock art of one of his ancestors.
The Princess of Monaco visits the hospital every year to congratulate and chat with new parents during Mother’s Day in her country. She maintains this tradition in her role as vice-president of the Monegasque Red Cross.
During her visit, Chàrlene walked the corridors and entered some of the rooms where mothers were breastfeeding their newborns.
These corridors are not unfamiliar to the royal. It was in that same maternity wing that she gave birth to her twins, Crown Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, in December 2014.
The hospital has strong ties with the royal family of Monaco, as most of its members were born there. Prince Albert I, in fact, founded the hospital in 1902.
Charlene de Monaco’s style
For this occasion, Chàrlene chose a powder pink trouser and jacket suit by Ralph Lauren, matching the aprons of the medical staff.
The jacket, a classic cut, had lapels and buttons, and the pants, a straight style, fitted at the waist and ankle-length.
She completed the outfit with a white blouse that was discreetly visible under the jacket and nude-colored heels, complementing the look.
Meanwhile, Alberto II traveled to Cantabria to see some historic cave paintings.
He inaugurated the temporary exhibition “Alberto I, the prince of prehistory” at the Cave Art Center of Puente Viesgo, dedicated to his great-great-grandfather. This exhibition was made possible thanks to the collaboration between the Principality of Monaco and the Government of Cantabria.
The exhibition highlights the role of his ancestor as a promoter of research in the Cantabrian caves in the early twentieth century.
Alberto II unveiled a commemorative plaque and then toured the facilities, which preserve documents on the visits and patronage of his ancestor in Altamira, Covalanas, La Pasiega and El Castillo between 1909 and 1914.
After the official ceremony, the prince stayed for a guided tour of the rest of the exhibitions.
