National Day Monaco: 2006 - 2022

[W.Y.CII]

Returning to Monaco doesn't mean she's fully recovered. It just indicated that her condition is stable enough to travel and allow her return to her family. That's how I always understand.

Great turnout from the Grimaldi. I love the way the family always closes ranks when necessary.

Agree 100% the Prince is blessed with a wonderful pool of family support.

Every year the same, always an abundance of black and dark colours, I can never understand why. It's supposed to be a happy event not but you'd think it was a funeral the way some people are dressed, including Caroline.

Subdued colours are traditionally de rigueur for attending Mass.

And as a princely family they probably adhere to this tradition ?

Subdued dosn't have to mean black. Grace wore dark greens, berry shades, blue and various beige outfits and they were always appropriate. The constant black year on year is unnecessary and depressing looking.

You are right, we have seen many colourful looks in the past, just think of Caroline and Stephanie in the 1980s, I would prefer a bit more colours again as well.

Loved the twins message for their mum!!

Beatrice is so chic!!

[Duc_et_Pair]

I saw ladies in blue, burgundy, gold, grey. It was not really a funeral affair regarding the outfits, to be fair.

[An Ard Ri]

What a lovely message from Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella

[sm1939]

thanks for posting the Gallery of pictures,
good to see the family helping out with the Twins and being supportive to Prince Albert, lovely message from the Twins to there mom too.

Princess Caroline’s grandsons all look so alike it is hard to tell who is who! I recognise Sacha and Rafael but the rest could be muddled quite easily!

It wasn't everyone but an awful lot of attendees wear black, or predominantly black, every year and I don't know why as it's rather gloomy looking.

[Moonmaiden23]

I adore Gabriella's outfit.

Beatrice is...as usual...too chic for words. And her children look like Botticelli angels.

India seems to have inherited her mother's permanent rather dour resting face expression.

Raphael Elmaleh is gorgeous, what a handsome child!

Charlotte looks great, but it is really disappointing to see her on her own again at National Day while her siblings have their entire families around them.

Where the heck is her husband?? I don't feel nearly as charmed by Dimitri Rassam now as I did at the start of his relationship with Charlotte.
