Princess Charlene of Monaco took to social media to
share some rare behind-the-scenes family photos on Easter Sunday – and we
almost didn’t recognize her!
In one image, the princess sat in church with her children
and her husband, Prince Albert, and in the following photo, taken in the
palace gardens, they gathered around the pool, with an Easter basket to
one side. The doting mum looked stunning in a long floral print dress, and her
hair had been styled in a platinum blonde close crop.
Albert put his hands on Jacques’ and Charlene’s shoulders
in a picture of family togetherness. The image was also shared on the princess’
Instagram page, with the simple caption: “Happy Easter [red heart
emoji].”
Her followers were delighted by the picture, with many
posting hearts and heart-eyes emojis in response. “Same to you too and
your lovely family,” wrote one, while another commented: “Be well …
nice picture.”
It was the first time Albert had been pictured since
confirming his second COVID-19 diagnosis on Wednesday. The palace has
since confirmed that the prince has tested negative.

Albert and the children marked the centenary of Soroptimist International, an organization that aims to improve the lives of
women and girls across the world.
The royal twins planted a South African tree during the
ceremony, a nod to Charlene’s home country. The planting of the tree came
shortly after the young royals held up signs saying: “We miss you,
mommy,” during Monaco’s National Day, which Charlene had initially
been slated to attend.
