As the balcony's glass doors opened during the festivities, Jacques and Gabriella’s little heads came into view. First, they doted on their dad Albert as he took salutes in the palace forecourt below from Monaco’s soldiers, the carabinieri celebrating their 200th anniversary. As the royal Prince tried to get a good peek at the ceremony, his Princess sister danced to the military band, occasionally throwing kisses and waving at the crowd. Later, the youngsters remained on their best behavior as Albert and Charlene picked them up and held them in their arms.

As usual, Princess Charlene, 39, did not disappoint with her outfit choice. The former Olympic swimmer stunned in a royal blue coat, adorning her look with a wide black hat. She swept her blonde locks back, showing off simple diamond earrings. Her daughter looked equally sweet in a bright floral jumper and white stockings. The Monaco Princes appeared sharp as well, with Albert, 59, in his official uniform and Jacques in a sharp grey suit.
