Three generations of Monaco's royal family presented a united family front this week, greeting well-wishers from the balcony of the royal palace in honour of the country's National Day.

Princess Caroline, Prince Albertand Princess Stephanie put aside their reported differences in order to stand alongside their father, who missed last year's ceremony for the first time in 53 years due to illness. Also making an appearance were Princess Caroline's husband Prince Ernst and son Andrea Casiraghi, who seems to be taking a more prominent role in royal family duties in recent months.

Newlywed Princess Stephanie appeared alone, with neither her children nor her husband, circus acrobat Adans Peres. Both royal sisters donned elegant suits for the occasion, Caroline in a Jacqueline Kennedy-style ensemble complete with pillbox hat, and her younger sister, who wore a new curly hairstyle, wearing bright blue.
