Princess Charlene and Prince Albert of Monaco stepped into the royal spotlight with their children on Sunday as they joined the nation in marking Monaco's National Day at the Palais Princier. 

Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, both eight, put on a united front beside their parents, looking immaculate in matching outfits as they twinned in tailored outfits. 

While Jacques was his father's mini-me in a military uniform, Princess Gabriella looked sublime in a double-breasted navy coat designed by Parisian fashion house Didierangelo.

The eight-year-old looked so smart in a navy coat and beret, as Princess Charlene defied expectations in the same outfit in a vibrant cherry-red hue.

 The young royal even marked a royal debut in dainty heeled shoes, sporting the 'Betsina 40' Black Patent Leather Ballerinas from Christian Louboutin with opaque tights.

Rushing to comment on a post by visual style blog @royalfashionpolice, one fan penned: "Gabrielle is a beautiful princess emulating her mom’s chic style."

"I love the heels on the shoes, we don’t know Gabriella’s personality and perhaps she wanted them," added a second fan, while another wrote: "I love them… I wish they had them in adult sizes."
