Monaco’s house of Grimaldi commemorated the 70th anniversary of the Rose Ball Saturday, with an event that looked to the future. Under the creative direction of Christian Louboutin, the royal family of Monaco and their hundreds of guests celebrated the gala’s historic landmark with a meal in a lavish spaceship, where the sparkle of silver dresses and laser projections lived up to the venue name, the Sporting Club de Monte Carlo’s Hall of Stars. As is tradition, Princess Caroline presided over the evening surrounded by her children: in this case, Pierre Casiraghi and Beatrice Borromeo, and Alexandra of Hanover and longtime companion Ben-Sylvester Strautmann. Princess Charlène was also in attendance at the Rose Ball, by the side of Prince Albert.

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.

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.
