Princess Charlene and Prince Albert have made a brief joint appearance ahead of a major event.

The Prince and Princess of Monaco attended the Physical Education and Sports Medals award ceremony on Sunday.


Charlene, 46, wore a £2,447 blazer with £1,125 trousers from Ralph Lauren for the occasion.

The couple’s joint appearance comes two days ahead of Monaco’s National Day, which Albert II and Charlene are expected to attend.

In 2023, Charlene was a vision in red for Monaco’s National Day, wearing a Stephen Jones red beret, Manolo Blahnik red knee-length boots, a red coat, a red dress, and sleek red gloves.

The Princess of Monaco accessorised with Graff ruby cluster earrings that featured white diamonds.

The mother-of-two often wears red and white to celebrate as a nod to the Monaco flag colours.

To celebrate the occasion in 2023, Albert and Charlene attended St Nicholas Cathedral for the Te Deum mass.

The National Day of Monaco, also known as The Sovereign Prince’s Day, is celebrated each year on November 19.

The reigning Prince of Monaco traditionally chose the National Day’s date each time a new individual took the throne.

The late Prince Rainier III selected November 19, as this is Saint Rainier’s Day.

However, the custom of changing the date ended when Prince Albert II took the throne, as he decided to permanently keep the National Day the same as his late father.

Prince Albert’s second investiture also took place on November 19, 2005, making it a significant date for him.

The national holiday is usually commemorated with a mass at St Nicholas Cathedral and fireworks over the harbour the evening before.

The Monegasque flag is also flown in celebration by the people of Monaco.
