The Red Cross is a charity clearly close to the royal’s hearts, with the couple hosting a gala ball in aid of the charity each July.
Monaco National Day, also known as The Sovereign Prince’s Day falls on 19 November, this Sunday, and is an annual celebration.
The date of the National Day is traditionally determined by the reigning Prince. The previous Princes often chose the day of the saint they were named after.
However, when Prince Albert II ascended the throne he ended this tradition by choosing the same day as his father Prince Rainier III.
National day is typically celebrated with fireworks over the harbour the evening before and a mass in the St. Nicholas Cathedral the next morning. The people of Monaco may celebrate by waving the Monegasque flag.
