Princess Charlene, Prince Albert, and Their Twins Stepped Out for the Monaco Picnic
The U Cavagnëtu, better known around the world that the Monaco Picnic, has been an annual event for the Monegasque royal family since the 1930s. Over the weekend, it made its triumphant return in Princess Antoinette Park after two years of pandemic hiatus. Known as a fun family day for Monaco's citizens, the Monaco Picnic is filled with folk dancing, local food, and plays host to a garden party.
To mark the occasion, Prince Albert, his wife Princess Charlene, and their children, Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques stepped out in summery fashion to mix and mingle with the people.
Charlene sported an all-white ensemble, featuring a high-necked, sleeveless lace tunic and white flowing trousers by South African designer Terence Bray, while Albert wore a simple combo of khakis and a blue blazer. The twins, who have been attending the event since they were just 8 months old, twinned (of course) in blue florals—a Jacadi dress for Gabriella and a coordinating shirt for Jacques.
"It's a fun event, a really nice moment of the year," Albert told People. "It's just a great, very informal, setting. The mass, which opens it up is a little formal, but then it goes right into a picnic and there's a little cocktail party atmosphere. It's just wonderful to be able to walk around and have 'tell me about your summer-type conversations" with people you know."
He added, "Although the kids don't fully understand the whole meaning of it yet, they've always had a good time because they usually just run around and play with other kids. ... People really want to get back to having a good time. To be able to interact with friends, to have a good meal and a nice drink. We saw that with the return of visitors to Monaco this summer."
