As they do every year, European monarchs take advantage of the end of the year to address their people with messages of hope and reflection.
On this occasion, Prince Albert of Monaco wanted to give a special touch to his traditional New Year’s address by including his wife, Princess Charlene, and his twins, Jacques and Gabriella, who brought a familiar and close air to the event.
The message, recorded in one of the majestic rooms of the Christmas-decorated Princely Palace, began with the prince’s words, which highlighted the values that will guide the new year:
“The coming year will bring new projects, opportunities to strengthen our environmental commitments, increase our solidarity with the most vulnerable and celebrate our shared identity.”
At the end, the entire family joined in the video to wish a prosperous 2025, a gesture that connected in a special way with the audience.
Charlene’s style at Prince Albert’s New Year’s Eve Speech
Charlene shone in a sophisticated dress with puffed sleeves, boat neckline and a belt that enhanced her figure.
Her style choice reflected the understated elegance that characterizes her and perfectly complemented the festive and formal atmosphere of the occasion.
Jacques and Gabriella’s Styles
Twins Jacques and Gabriella, who recently celebrated their 10th birthday, also stood out for their impeccable looks.
Gabriella wore a dress by the prestigious Brunello Cucinelli brand, with a top adorned with delicate sequin embroidery and a voluminous silk skirt, a handcrafted garment valued at 2,500 dollars.
For his part, Jacques opted for a classic suit combined with a small polka dot tie, which gave him a youthful and refined touch.
The Life of the Twins
Despite their young age, Jacques and Gabriella already have a special place in the traditions of the principality. Although they live a relatively private life at the Princely Palace, they attend significant events such as mass at Monaco Cathedral and National Day celebrations.
The brothers are currently attending the Institution François d’Assise-Nicolas Barré, the third school they attend.
