The delightful portrait, shared on their official Instagram account, features the royal couple in a cozy living room adorned with a Christmas tree and a stone fireplace decorated with a festive garland.
Princess Charlene, 46, radiated elegance in slender chocolate brown trousers paired with a mocha knitted jumper and pointed brown leather boots. Her platinum blonde hair cascaded in soft waves, and she completed her look with a touch of rosy makeup.
Beside her on a rectangular stool were her two children, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, both nine, who beamed adorably for the camera.
For the festive occasion, Jacques looked dapper in a grey ombre jumper and dark trousers, while Gabriella wore a cream knit top and matching cream trousers. Prince Albert beamed with pride behind the trio, dressed in a cream cable knit jumper and a brown checkered shirt.
The Instagram post mentioned, “The Princier Palace is pleased to share with you the photo of the greeting card from the Princier family.”
Royal fans quickly filled the comments section with warm wishes, with one user writing, “Beautiful photo!! Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!” Another remarked, “Wow, what a lovely photo,” and a third added, “Beautiful picture. As always, Princess Charlene looks great.”
Prince Albert and Princess Charlene are the first royals to release their Christmas card this season. We can also look forward to festive greetings from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Prince and Princess of Wales, King Charles and Queen Camilla, and various European royals, including King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain and King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium.
This year’s stunning portrait was taken by Éric Mathon, who also captured their Christmas family portrait last year.
It’s been a busy time for the Monegasque royal family. On Saturday, they embraced the holiday spirit at Place du Casino, admiring the dazzling Christmas lights.
The Palais Princier shared a series of photos on Instagram (translated to English), stating, “On Saturday, November 30, Prince Albert II and Princess Charlène, along with Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, kicked off the year-end celebrations by illuminating the city, the Prince’s Palace, and the Carabinieri barracks. The Princely Family then visited Place du Casino to see the 18-meter high tree and the five giant animated Christmas ornaments, inspired by magical Christmas moments.”
