Princess Charlene and Prince Albert of Monaco have been married for 14 years, but the way they publicly marked the relationship milestone may have left fans confused.
The Monegasque royals enjoyed a three-day celebration in 2011, spanning from 30 June, when they had an Eagles concert, to 1 July, which was their civil ceremony at the Prince’s Palace, and finally their religious ceremony on 2 July, which is what they consider their official anniversary.
Albert flew to Japan days before their wedding anniversary, but they marked the occasion with a post on their official Instagram page which read: "Happy wedding anniversary to T.H.S.H. Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene.".
Despite the fact that they were dressed to the nines in bridal white, it was not taken at their wedding. In the photo, which was from the Gala Dinner For The F1 Grand Prix in May 2025, Albert wore a white dinner jacket and a bow tie, while Charlene chose a floor-length pristine white shift dress with an asymmetrical neckline that gave the illusion of a one-shouldered silhouette.

Finishing her vampy bridal look, Charlene wore her brunette hair in a voluminous slicked back style and carried a red rose bouquet that matched her rosy lipstick – a more daring take on her Armani wedding look in 2011.
Three bridal looks

Giorgio Armani's niece Roberta explained to Vogue: "My uncle wanted to make sure the dress was timeless and sophisticated. Charlene is blessed with an amazing body and spectacular shoulders, which is a fantastic base for any dress. The shade of ivory we chose suits her skin so well."
Glittering as she walked down the aisle, Charlene's gown featured 40,000 Swarovski crystals and a five-meter-long train which she teamed with an impressive veil, choosing to forego a tiara.

She concluded: "It was such a wonderful three days. Even months afterwards I would get flashbacks and think, 'Oh, my goodness, did I really have the Eagles playing at my wedding?' I think back and wonder how we managed to pull it off."
Earlier that week, the royal had shown off her experimental style in a black cut-out bustier at the pre-wedding concert and an aquamarine Chanel suit with pallazzo pants at the civil ceremony.
