Well, then the Pope is not very consequent: he still has not sold the Apostolic Palace and the Vatican musea, to swap to a linen tent in Calais or so. And when manners are not so important anymore as you say, I would recommend Prince Albert and all other royals to sell all their historic collections, no longer request a dresscode, break the jewels because tja... these are not mentioned in the Ten Commandments...

It is all gallery play by the Pope. While he prefers an appartment in Casa Santa Marta, he still receives the royal guests in the papal appartments which are... surprise, surprise... far more spartan than the recently renovated and refurbished Casa Santa Marta, which is more a big hotel with all services.

That the Pope thinks his old rag does not need a choir dress and a mozzeta for the ceremonial welcome of a Catholic head of state, does not make him a hero or something. It shows desinterest, lack of manners. I applaud that the Prince and Princess of Monaco still know what politesse is. Would he have appeared in wrinkled pantalon with an open shirt, she with a tight blouse, then hell and doom would be their part on this forum. Now Charlène was every inch The Princess of Monaco, everyone is in praise for her. But hey... apparently we may not expect the head of state of the Holy See, residing in the grandest monumental sites of the world, surrounded by Botticelli, Michelangelo, Bernini, to wear a clean cassock?

Hmmm... ok.

The people who are living near the center are not happy that the center of refugees are near their home.

Wonderful to see them bringing cute little Jacques with them! That makes me hope for many more occasions in the future!

Thank you for those who shared the photos of the tournament. Little Jacques is adorable and looks so grown up now that he is walking! I wonder why Gabriella wasn't there? (Not asking to be critical of Charlene or Albert, but genuinely curious). It looks like it's cold in Monaco at the moment as both Charlene and Jacques are wearing warm winter clothing.

[AdmirerUS]

Cuteness overload. A thermal quilt hoodie is great until one tries to look right or left. He was being such a good boy!

[carlota]

jacques is such an adorable baby - shame we didn't get to see gabriella, but so happy charlene decided to bring one of the twins for our delight. he is such a cutie!

[Countessmeout]

I wonder if Gabriella was a bit under the weather It seems a bit odd they only brought 1, they would usually bring both twins. But so great to see little Jacque. I love that we get to see these two, ant not just very rare photo released like some other royal kids

[RoyalOutcast]

Jacques is the heir and therefore, in many eyes, more important

[Countessmeout]

They are both heirs. And I highly doubt for one moment Charlene or Albert thought 'well Gabriella is only second in line, no one cares about her, we should leave her at home' Can you imagine if Harry had been left behind on family events because he was only the second son.

How cute is that pic of P Jacques all smiling and reaching out to the rugby ball! Already a little rugby player in the making.! So nice of P Albert to support his wife and even bringing P Jacques along in the cold weather? Thanks to all who posted.

Jacques is the hereditary prince of Monaco, the heir, Gabriella is second on the line. it is nice to see Jacques

Gabriella is perhaps ill, she has perhaps a cold, as it was very cold and it rains a lot, Princess Charlene prefered to let her at the palace.
It happens very often to see other royal parents attending an event with only the heir.

I was hoping to see also Princess Gabriella, but Jacques was simply adorable. He made such cute faces and seemed tobe very comfortable with the cameras. I wouldn't read too much into the absence of Gabriella though.

The pic of Jacques reaching out to the rugby ball may become one to remember, like the one of Prince George's first day at kindergarten

This is not the same as an official royal event, where Christian or IA have been taken as the 'heir'. It is more like if in a few years when they are both older, Kate and Will take only George to Ascot and not Charlotte. He is 'the heir', why would they take the spare child? You do realize these kids are only 'spares' to the throne, not to their family right? You don't leave the spare child in the closet during a family outing. Why I assume Gabriella was likely not feeling well or something.
