Monaco Royal Christmas card 2016
A glamorous portrait of Monaco's Royal Family
The family portrait that was taken earlier this month, shows Princess Charlene, the Royal twins Jacques and Gabriella and a very proud father, Prince Albert II.
The family's glamorous past is particularly evident in this Christmas snap with a portrait of Prince Albert's mother, Grace Kelly, in the background. Last year's card showed the young family at their Roc Agel retreat, whilst the official 2016 Christmas card has them in the Salon des Glaces in the Palais Princier.
The twins have made an early start to their Royal duties. At just two years of age they have been seen helping their father to open the Monaco Christmas markets and handing out presents at the Palais Princier to local children.
Inside the card the message reads: “May the joy and peace of the holiday season be with you in this New Year 2017.”
