Princess Charlene stuns in royal blue velvet

Princess Charlene looked very stylish as she kicked off the annual National Day of Monaco celebrations.

The 39-year-old looked sophisticated in a blue velvet coat dress paired with a black wide-brimmed hat.

The Princess joined Prince Albert for the celebrations and posed with twins Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella on the balcony.


Jacques wore a smart grey suit for the celebrations and Gabriella wore a pretty flower dress.

The royals were joined by Princess Stephanie of Monaco and Princess Caroline of Hanover as the festivities commenced. Caroline’s children Andrea, Charlotte and Pierre Casiraghi were also present.

The National Day of Monaco, also known as the Sovereign Princes’ Day, is celebrated on November 19.

The annual holiday commemorates the day Prince Albert of Monaco ascended to the throne.

The holiday typically begins with fireworks over the harbour the evening before and a mass in the St Nicholas Cathedral the next morning.

Earlier this week, Charlene and Albert attended a charitable gift-giving event in aid of the Monaco Red Cross.

The royals spent time chatting to visitors, shaking their hands and hearing stories about their lives.

The Red Cross is a charity very close to Charlene and Albert’s hearts, with the couple hosting a gala ball in aid of the charity each July.

Recently, Charlene shared a picture of her twins at their first visit to the hairdressers on Instagram.

Jacques and Gabriella looked adorable as they admired each other’s new looks.
