Prince Albert was very attentive to the children

Albert, 57, showed that he is a hands on father too, checking every now and then on Jacques and Gabriella, who will turn one on 10 December. It's easy to tell them apart, because the royals helpfully give them different coloured dummies – blue for Jacques and pink for Gabriella.
