Grace Kelly’s granddaughter Charlotte Casiraghi is respectful in dramatic black veil for Pope’s visit

Princess Caroline of Monaco’s daughter Charlotte Casiraghi was respectful in an all-black ensemble, featuring a dramatic lace veil, as she attended the welcome ceremony for Pope Leo XIV’s visit to the principality.  The 39-year-old model and socialite wowed in a two-piece skirt suit that had intricate floral detailing running along the jacket’s bodice and chunky rope cording along its lapels.  Large silver buttons were done up to the jacket’s round neckline, and matching buttons lined the lower half of the model’s sleeves. She added a pair of dark black tights that poked out from beneath her pencil skirt.  She walked around in a pair of modest black sling-back kitten heels and carried her belongings in a padded Chanel purse with a long black strap that she clutched by her side.  Powerboat racer and Italian businessman Stefano Casiraghi’s daughter joined other members of the monarchy and donned a showstopping black lace veil for the monumental engagement.  The veil was loosely placed on top of her chestnut brown hair and hung down around her face. It dramatically blew …

Princess Charlene softens ‘sharp’ Max Mara suit with girly balletic hair

Princess Charlene has kept a relatively low profile so far in 2026, stepping out for public engagements on only a handful of occasions.  However, on 17 March, she proved that a well-tailored suit never misses as she stepped out with her husband, Prince Albert, for the Monaco Red Cross first aid diploma ceremony.

Meet Europe’s youngest royals | HELLO!

Ascending the throne isn’t to be taken lightly and the heavy gaze of the outside world requires commitment from a young age. Queen Victoria famously requested an hour alone following the news on 20 June 1837 that she would soon be crowned queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. But times have changed and young royals today are allowed a little more freedom for something a bit closer to a “normal” childhood. We’re looking at the newest branches on the family tree of royals across Europe, from Prince Louis to the new Princess Ines of Sweden.  © Getty Images Prince Louis, the youngest of three children, was born to Prince William and Princess Kate Prince Louis, United Kingdom Famous for his “cheeky” antics, the third child of Prince William and Princess Kate was born 23 April 2018 and is fourth in line to the throne.

Princess Charlene and Prince Albert joined by their twins for sentimental outing at Winter Olympics – best photos

Princess Charlene, Prince Albert and their twins, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella made a rare family appearance at the Winter Olympic Games in Milan over the weekend.  The Monaco royal family wrapped up warm on Sunday to watch the skeleton mixed team competition, donning beanie hats and ski jackets to observe the action at the Cortina Sliding Centre.  Eleven-year-old twins Jacques and Gabriella were clearly making the most of their school holidays, grinning from ear to ear as they cheered on the athletes, having earlier attended the women’s curling tournament.   The outing also made for a special occasion for their parents, who famously went public with their relationship during the opening ceremony of the Turin Games in 2006. It made for a romantic full-circle moment for Charlene and Albert, returning to the Winter Games 20 years later with their children on Valentine’s weekend.   © Alamy Stock Photo Princess Charlene, Prince Albert and twins Jacques and Gabriella made sure to layer up for the freezing temperatures at the Cortina Sliding Centre. © Alamy Stock …

Princess Charlene’s daughter Gabriella makes first appearance of 2026 – in ruby red party dress

Princess Gabriella made her first appearance of 2026 as she featured in a photo to mark the New Year which was posted by the Monegasque royal Instagram account on 2 January. Joining her parents, Prince Albert and Princess Charlene of Monaco, and twin brother, Prince Jacques, the 11-year-old princess looked so sweet in ruby red. The royal opted for a vibrant party dress featuring a bow around the neck and a floaty skirt. It was paired with the ultimate party essential for any little girl – a pair of silver ballet pumps. The vivid hue of Gabriella’s look, which was perfectly playful for an 11-year-old, contrasted the quiet elegance of Princess Charlene’s white Elie Saab jumpsuit.  While Constance Richardson, a fashion stylist and colour expert, previously told us that red “signals confidence and intention” and is “a colour worn when a royal wants to stand out and project strength”, it seems that Gabriella is wearing this shade to beckon in the New Year, as red is one of the national colours of Monaco and so …
