The Olympics are being held in Paris, France

Princess Charlene dazzled in a Louis Vuitton jumpsuit at the Olympic Opening Ceremony as she arrived with her husband, Prince Albert.

The Prince and Princess of Monaco were received by the President and First Lady of France at the Élysée Palace for a reception before the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympics.


The Princess of Monaco wore a custom Louis Vuitton jumpsuit with a £5,650 handbag from the same brand.

Charlene wearing a prominent French brand was likely a special nod to the host country of the 2024 Olympic Games.

Princess Charlene, 46, is a former Olympic swimmer.

In 2000, she won the gold medal in the 200-metre backstroke event at the Sydney Olympic Games.

This was when she met Prince Albert for the first time, as he was presiding over the international competition.

A former Olympian himself, Prince Albert, 66, competed in bobsledding at the Winter Games five times between 1988 and 2002.

The Opening Ceremony appeared to be a spectacular show.

Smoke resembling the French flag was launched over the Pont d’Austerlitz during the ceremony at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Other members of the European Royal Families were present at the event.

This included King Willem-Alexander of The Netherlands, King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain, and King Frederik and Queen Mary of Denmark.

No members of the British Royal Family were present at the Opening Ceremony.

Princess Anne, currently in Paris for the Olympics, watched the ceremony from the Team GB House in the French capital.

A Buckingham Palace spokesperson told GB News: "The Princess Royal will be cheering on the British Olympic team as they arrive for the Opening Ceremony from Team GB house in Paris."
