After Princess Charlene’s long absence due to illness, her children Jacques and Gabriella are once again celebrating their birthdays with the whole family. This Saturday, the twins turned 8 years old, and, of course, it was not without a festive party. Grace Kelly’s grandchildren are growing up as fans of Japanese culture and manga, judging by the frame posted by the Princely House of Monaco on their official social media account. Cherry blossom balloons, a cake decorated with Super Mario and Sonic figurines, animators dressed as their favorite characters – it looks like Charlene and Albert II managed to impress the kids. Little Gabriella even tried on a geisha kimono – in a black wig and with a whitened face, the girl is almost unrecognizable!
However, fans of the royal family paid attention not only to the reincarnation of the little princess, but also to how Charlene looks. And the photo of the princess, dressed in a gray suit, smiles genuinely, hugging her son, despite the fact that this day was stressful for her entire family.
This Saturday, Charlene, along with her husband and children, also visited the training center for baby turtles, who in a couple of months will leave the Oceanographic Museum and join their turtle family in Senegal. The children listened very attentively to the explanations of the veterinarians about this protected species, and then (not without the help of their mother, of course) they decorated the wooden houses of the tortillas with various marine ornaments and their initials.
Let’s remind, all last year Charlene’s health caused the big concern. She first fell ill while in South Africa in May 2021 – during a brief 10-day visit to her home country. However, complications from a previous ENT procedure delayed her return by six months. A subsequent series of painful corrective surgeries, a relapse and further treatment delayed her final arrival in Monaco until March. After her return to Monaco, she explained that her health remains “fragile”, but after Charlene regularly appeared at a number of social events.
In June of this year, the princess fell ill with the coronavirus and disappeared from the radar for some time. But lately, the princess often goes out both alone and with her husband. In early November, the Prince and Duchess attended the Princess Grace Awards in New York, named after Albert’s mother, actress and Princess Grace Kelly. This award is given annually to young and talented theater and film actors, as well as dancers. In the middle of the month, they organized a special reception at the Monaco Palace and celebrated the merits of the beneficiaries of the Red Cross organization. And in the last days of the month they celebrated the National Day of Monaco with other representatives of the Grimaldi family.
