Does this picture give us a bit of a blury glimpse of the interior decoration of Albert and Charlene’s private appartements?
@hshprincealbertii on Instagram: "Princess Charlene gave an interview to Gala Magazine's Katia Alibert in mid-October where she discussed animal welfare and her commitments as President of @spamonacofficiel, the Princely Twins and the passing of time. Be sure to grab a copy! Gala, Benjamin Decoin ⠀ #princesscharlene #charlenedemonaco #monaco"

Or inside the office of the Princess?

In this version there’s a bit more visible of the background.
The Royal Couturier on Instagram: "In one of the Gala Magazine photos, Princess Charlene was photographed by @bendecoin at the family's private apartment in the palace. Gala reports that the bond between her and her 3 chihuahuas was evident during the photoshoot. They did not leave her side, they played with her and jumped on her lap."

Looks very modern compared to the rest of the more classic palace interiors.

It's a beautiful place indeed, Monaco is the real magical kingdom where every corner seems to be filled with an activity to do.

Makes me wonder if the palace itself has areas that could be covering long lost treasures from the times of it's construction. Like the viceregal palace in Mexico City's Zocalo Plaza, built over the Aztec temple ruins with corridors under the structure itself.

The Princely Palace was looted during the French Revolution and French occupation
The engraving below dates from 1732 ,the palace was in a terrible state when Honoré IV was restored and the furnishings and art work looted or sold off by the French.

Wow, that means the Grimaldis have spent all that time restoring the art stolen from them with new pieces. Again, that makes me wonder if they had records that mention works they had before the looting, like original paintings by big names from the Renaissance. The mystery remains!
