Princess Stephanie and daughter Pauline steal the show under the big top

In what has become a family tradition, circus-loving Stephanie of Monaco and daughter Pauline were joined by Prince Albert at the 35th International Circus Festival of Monte-Carlo – an event founded by the former ruler of the principality Prince Rainier.

Sixteen-year-old Pauline proved she's growing into a real beauty as she and her proud mother brought a touch of royal elegance to the fun and shenanigans
