Gorgeous pictures! The Monaco Christmas card is my favourite every year because it's always the most festive from the tree to the clothes the family wear, just beautiful.

I love the Christmas card picture but the one of the twins on their own is stunning. Princess Gabriella looks like an angel in her white dress.

 

[Lee-Z]

Agree, lovely pics but especially the one with Jacques and Gabriella is adorable!

 

[C4A]

Lovely festive family picture, complete we the dog.

Lovely pictures! The twins are adorable!!

 

[Florestane]

Lovely photos - the Christmas tree is beautiful and the twins very cute. The picture of them on their own has a vintage air to it - gorgeous.

 

[HereditaryPrincess]

Lovely photos indeed of the family. Jacques and Gabriella are adorable and I love Gabriella's serious little face in the first photo. Sweet that they included their dog too, I didn't realise they had one.

Oh My, the twins are absolutely exquisite!

The camera simply loves them, they cannot take a bad picture, from the day they were born....

ps: happy belated 4th birthday, angels. ?

 

[TRCRoyal]

I wonder why the other dogs weren't in the picture.

So, he basically/indirectly bought his honorary doctorate?

 

[Lyonnaise]

Probably, but at least the school "got" something out of it. A lot of times, honorary doctorates are just given to people "because they did stuff" even if that stuff has nothing to do with the university.

If a university decides that the stuff they did is worthy of their recognition that's at least something. However, with some honorary doctorates, especially those to royals or celebrities, the purpose seems more to flatter that person or promote themselves. It would be helpful if the 'significant contribution to a specific academic field' would be the leading guideline.

And honorary doctorates that can be bought by fame and money is probably the worst of all

 

[C4A]

I am sure P Albert’s honorary doctorates are not “bought by money or fame” as his involvement and tireless efforts in environmental issues are well known.

Nice picture !

It seems 2 universities had the same thought recently. He also received one from a Canadian university in March. The University didn't receive any funds from Albert as far as I can see. They recognized him for his environmental work.

He received the award when he was in Quebec visiting an exhibition about his mother.
