Prince Albert and Princess Charlene often make joint appearances, however, the couple don’t always talk about their life as a married couple.
In a new interview, Albert has, however, spoken about his beloved. Reflecting on his 20 years on the throne, Albert was asked about what he was most proud of, promoting him to respond: “What I’m most proud of is my marriage and my children, above all.”
The couple share twin children, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, and Charlene spoke of how the ten-year-olds keep them on their feet. She joked: “The children also help me stay young. It’s hard to keep them under control.“

Albert isn’t the only Monegasque royal to mark a milestone moment as his twin children made their First Communion earlier this week.

The First Communion is an important part of the Monaco royal family’s Catholic faith, and the news was shared via their Instagram account, which read: “On this day of their First Communion, we extend our most sincere congratulations to Hereditary Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, who received this sacrament with faith and reverence.”

I can’t believe the twins are this big already,” while another person wrote: “Congratulations to TSH Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella! I’m sure their grandmother HSH Princess Grace, a very religious lady, is very proud of them in heaven.”
