There is no match between Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella.

Charlène and Albert's twins proved this again at the feast of Saint Devota.

Monaco – The feast of Saint Devota is one of the highlights in the Monegasque calendar – also for the royal family.

On the eve of January 27th, celebrations in Monaco begin with the traditional burning of a wooden fishing boat in front of the Sainte-Dévote church.

Together with their parents Albert (65) and Charlène of Monaco (46), Prince Jacques (9) and Princess Gabriella (9) were allowed to light the boat with torches.

Great mood at the Sainte Dévote festival: Jacques and Gabriella enchant when they perform with Charlène and Albert

A big moment for the Monaco twins, who were in great spirits.

As at the “Open Air Circus Show” two weeks earlier, Princess Gabriella followed in Mama Charlène's fashionable footsteps in a luxury look.

At around 1,300 euros, her checked cashmere coat from Burberry was even more expensive than the Dior outfit from the last appearance.

What caught the eye much more than Gabriella's designer coat, however, was her close relationship with twin brother Jacques.

The twins hugged each other again and again and were beaming from ear to ear.

The Sainte Dévote festival definitely seems to be one of the mini-royals' favorite events.

While Charlène of Monaco looked on with a smile, Prince Albert II kept leaning down to Jacques and Gabriella to show his children something.

Sainte Dévote, the patron saint of Monaco and Corsica

On January 27th, the feast of Saint Devota is celebrated in Monaco.

According to legend, the Christian martyr was tortured to death in Corsica in the 4th century AD.

While the body was being transported to Africa by ship, a dove is said to have emerged from her mouth during a storm and guided the boat to Monaco.

Since 1924, a boat has traditionally been burned in front of the Sainte-Dévote church named after the saint on the evening before the festival.

Charlène and Albert of Monaco: Appearance on the balcony without Jacques and Gabriella

On January 27th, Albert and Charlène attended a mass in honor of Sainte Dévote before the royal couple appeared on the balcony of the Monegasque palace.

Here, however, the followers waited in vain to see Jacques and Gabriella again.

Maybe the twins were just too tired after the festivities the night before and were given a break.

Recently, Jacques and Gabriella had regularly accompanied their parents at performances.

Charlène from Monaco recently celebrated her birthday in public, and of course her husband Albert and their two children couldn't be missing.
