Monegasque Family Picnic

Yes, the Monegasque family picnic was held again at Antoinette park and TSH Prince Albert II, Princess Charlene, HRH Princess Caroline and Baroness de Massy and daughter Melanie de Massy were all on hand. It was great to see them but most of all, especially after my melancholy mood from last week, Princess Charlene looked positively adorable in Monegasque national dress. I love this! Our lovely South African princess really showed she makes a fine Monegasque lady and is united with her people-by-marriage. My only quibble is that, unlike past years, the Sovereign Prince did not dress the part this year. Why not join your Princess consort and go "all Monegasque all the way"? Still, a big cheer and thumbs up to Princess Charlene on her fashion choice for this occasion. It was touching and the Princess looked magnificent. Great job!

Monegasque Family Picnic

It's that time of the year again, when the Sovereign Prince and the native Monegasques have their 'extended family' picnic at Princess Antoinette park. Prince Albert II, looking very traditional in his native costume (or at least as near as he usually gets) with a very relaxed looking Princess Charlene. Baronness Elisabeth-Anne and Melanie de Massy were also on hand for this special event:
