Prince Albert II of Monaco and his wife Princess Charlene joined volunteers for the annual Red Cross gift giving at their palace in the beautiful city-state on France’s Mediterranean coastline.
The elegant royals have, in the past, used the event to hand out presents to lucky youngsters who are invited especially to receive them.
Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene weren’t joined by their adorable twins, four-year-olds Jacques and Gabriella, who stole the show last week when they had lunch with France’s first lady in the Élysée Palace in Paris.

Princess Charlene shared a picture of the meeting on Instagram with the message: ‘Our twin’s first trip to Paris and tea with Madame Macron.’ She also thanked Brigitte Macron and her husband Emmanuel for their hospitality.
Almost two years ago the twins stole the show again when they helped hand out presents to lucky children at the palace.
Gabriella looked adorable in a navy fur trimmed anorak, white tights and plum velvet boots as she held hands with her father Prince Albert on the way to the annual event.
Her brother Prince Jacques, wearing a matching navy coat, stayed close to his mother Princess Charlene.
Today, their mother was adorned in an elegant all lack ensemble while her husband donned a sensible grey suit, in stark contrast to his festive 2016 effort that included a Christmassy tie.
Mother-of-two, Charlene was rocking the festive look too, in a bright red coat and pointed silver flats.
The engagement this morning was more of an adult affair as the Prince and Princess posed with members of the Red Cross’s volunteer force and handed over goody-bags full of gifts.
