As every year, Monaco celebrated “Prince's Day” on November 19, the day of the celebration of Blessed Rainier of Arezzo and the anniversary of the enthronement of Prince Rainier III.
And as always, Prince Albert II, his wife Charlene and their twins Jacques and Gabriella were there.
The Monegasques were also able to count on the presence of Princesses Caroline and Stéphanie of Monaco who attended the festivities, with their respective families.

After mass, the Monegasques notably had the opportunity to see Caroline de Hanover's four children (Andrea, Charlotte and Pierre Casiraghi, as well as Alexandra de Hanover), alongside their husband and wife, and all their children.
All were gathered in the Court of Honor of the Palace to attend the presentation of distinctions orchestrated by Albert II in person.

First public appearance of Balthazar Rassam
For the first time, Charlotte Casiraghi was accompanied by her husband Dimitri Rassam and her two sons: Raphaël Elmaleh (from her relationship with Gad Elmaleh, who will be 9 years old on December 17) and Balthazar Rassam (4 years old) whose it was the very first official appearance.

By the marriage of his parents in 2019, Balthazar was legitimized after his birth and integrated the order of succession to the Monegasque throne retroactively.
Charlotte and Balthazar are thus 11th and 12th in the order of succession to the throne of Monaco.
Unlike his half-brother, Raphaël Elmaleh is not on the list of heirs to the throne of Monaco, his parents having never been married.
