Monaco Marks National Day With Full Royal Turnout, From Twins’ Salute to Beatrice Borromeo’s Return

The annual royal showcase underscores Monaco's continuity under the date kept in memory of Prince Rainier III.

Overview

  • Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene led the traditional program of a cathedral mass, a palace balcony appearance, and a military parade.
  • Ten-year-old Prince Jacques matched his father in uniform and joined the salute during the parade, reaffirming his status as heir despite being younger than twin sister Princess Gabriella.
  • Beatrice Borromeo made her first official appearance since giving birth on October 4, with the baby reported to be named Bianca Caroline Marta.
  • Style took center stage as Princess Charlene’s white pussybow blouse drew comparisons to the Princess of Wales, Charlotte Casiraghi wore yellow tweed Chanel, and Beatrice’s grey dress echoed Grace Kelly.
  • Princess Alexandra of Hanover posted behind-the-scenes views from the palace and revealed she styled Princess Caroline in Khaite, also sharing her own Prada and Maison Krasnova look.
