Prince Albert and Princess Charlene joined their twin children on the Monaco Palace balcony today for a historic occasion.

Today marks Monaco's National Day, and Charlene, 46, and Albert, 66, attended a Thanksgiving mass at the Cathedral of Monaco to celebrate.


They were joined by Albert's two sisters, Princess Caroline and Princess Stephanie.

Following the service, the Prince and Princess of Monaco appeared on the balcony of the Prince's Palace with their twin children, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella.

Charlene and Albert also shared a new photograph of their two children on their social media pages.

They captioned the post: "Crown Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella wish you a happy National Day."

Gabriella could be seen wearing a pin, while Jacques donned a star badge.

These represent the honours they were awarded at their baptism.

As Prince Jacques is heir to the Monegasque throne, he was given a high grade of honour (Grand Cross, as opposed to a Grand Officer).

Princess Gabriella looked beautiful during Monaco's National Day, sporting a custom light blue Dior coat.

Her mother, Princess Charlene, also looked gorgeous today in a lilac trouser suit from Louis Vuitton.

The Princess of Monaco also wore her rarely-seen engagement ring as she joined forces with Prince Albert.

The rarely-seen jewel is estimated to be worth a whopping £55,000.

During the family's balcony appearance, Princess Charlene and Gabriella could be seen holding hands.
