It is a special Christmas for the princely family of Monaco, but the tradition remains. Princess Charlene presented her best wishes to Monegasques – and the rest of the world – by sharing the palace’s official end-of-year card.
To celebrate the last days of 2021, the Grimaldis have opted for a color drawing, not a photo, representing them. We can see Charlene and Albert, as well as their children Jacques and Gabriella, posing next to a tree at the foot of which are many gifts. The dominant tones, red and gold, of course recall the coat of arms of the princely family.

In the caption of his post Instagram, Prince Albert’s wife wished a “wonderful holiday season to all” reminding the public to stay safe as the Omicron variant rages around the world. “With all my love,” Charlene of Monaco concluded.

And not in Monaco, for reasons of confidentiality, ”said the reigning prince.
