It's a boy and a girl: Prince Jacques & Princess Gabriella, December 10, 2014

[Marchesina]

Jacques I was Prince in the XVIII century so it's kind of a family name, Honoré as well. Love Gabriella.
Congrats to mum and dad!

Gabriella is not a French name, is it ?

Now that they have one of each, I doubt they'll have any more children. I'm sure they are so thrilled to have a boy and a girl at the same very time! It must be a precious moment.

[Valerie Rose]

Very, very happy news. Good health and many years to the proud parents and new babies!

You are right. The French version would be Gabrièle or Gabrielle.

 

[Mirabel]

I like the names, but why Gabriella instead of Gabrielle?
Isn't Gabriella the Italian version?

 

[kathia_sophia]

Does anyone knows here what will be the process from now on? I mean, official presentation of the babies, official pictures, some info about baptism, etc.

 

[Marty91charmed]

It seems aunt Stephanie has just arrived at the hospital

 

[MoonShadow123]

Marvellous!

Brilliant news, congratulations to the happy couple, their families and the people of Monaco.

 

[polyesco]

Im glad all is well.
A boy and a girl, shame that they havent changed the law since the girl was born first.

Since Frederik was in Monaco for the IOC meetings I wonder if he gave some advice to Albert on twins, lol : D

 

[Beate28]

[alenka]

talking about it

It's just a shame the girl was born first but cannot be the heiress! O I wish I could have seen the cannons firing

That's great news - to have at once babies of different gender!

 

[tdarlene]

Congratulations to the couple. I'm pleasantly surprised by the little princes names, what a lovely surprise. I wish all the best to them.

 

[zarat]

I have a book by Isabele Bricard about reigning dynasty in Europe with detailed family tree which I'm updating constantly. So its' with a great pleasure that I have added princes Jacques and Gabrielle.
These children are "beautiful Christmas gift" for Monaco people!

 

[principessa]

I guess Princess Grace and Prince Rainier would have been very proud of their new grandchildren.

I like the names, but why Gabriella instead of Gabrielle?
Isn't Gabriella the Italian version?

Perhaps Gabriella is also the form of the name in the Monegasque language.
