A new stamp of Prince Albert.
In response to the unprecedented global health crisis caused by COVID-19, Prince Albert sent a message of solidarity to the population of Monaco which is now written on the stamp: “Patience, trust, courage and solidarity”. The new design serves to commemorate the spirit of solidarity that was born out of these difficult times.

It looks like the family are really getting stuck in, and a good event to bring Jacques and Gabriella to so they can learn the importance of cleanliness for the environment at a young age and they can keep this in mind for the future.

Agree, P.Albert always seems very active and involved in loads of activities in Monaco and great to see the twins joining in

[Countessmeout]

So important for kids, either commoner or royal to learn. We need to teach them young about the environment and doing our part.

Perfect event to involve the kids in.

Wow, with a private training session, nice! Great idea to get money for the foundation (i don't think they mention how high the final bid was )

[C4A]

Also nice to see in this press release that the Foundations of the Princely couple will work together more often in future. Can only be exciting.

I like that P.Albert starts to take Jacques to this sort of events, nothing to fussy, but when you're born into a life/job you might as well grow up in it a little bit

[C4A]

Agree. Some fun and informal events for the little Prince to start off with, and ease into the many responsibilities he will eventually have to shoulder.

[REAL COUNTESS]

Early training will help him a lot when he rules Monaco. Great job little one.

Gabriella attended the Pétanque Challenge as well, see here:

Very insightful into Prince Albert's personal experience with lingering symptoms of covid. He spoke to Monaco's low cases and deaths and vaccination plan.

"It is an ambitious plan which calls ultimately for all 37,000 residents to be vaccinated. The inoculation schedule will begin as soon as French medical authorities complete their vaccine review.
That should be sometime in January. We'll have everything in place when the green light is given," he assures.

I especially enjoyed a personal story he told about Christmas shopping locally and the tearful thanks he received from one shop keeper.

Excellent article!
