The Serene Highness was not the only radiant princess!
A Grimaldi, a Napoléon and a Bourbon Sicily walk into a restaurant… it sounds a bit like the beginning of a bad joke, but last weekend this was simply the reality in Monte-Carlo. After the thrilling Grand Prix, the Formula 1 weekend ended with – how could it be otherwise, we are in Monaco after all – a grand gala.

Whether you sit faithfully on the couch every week to cheer for Max Verstappen, or whether you especially indulged in all the designer glamor in Monaco last weekend – you can hardly have missed the fact that the princely family of Monaco was doing well this weekend. was represented during the Grand Prix.
And if you thought that after all the anticipation and the race itself, everything was in order, then we have news for you: of course there will also be a grand gala in Monaco to end such a festive weekend in style.
Gala
Yes: after the much-loved ‘Monegasque son’ Charles Leclerc managed to win this home match in the afternoon, there was no question of just relaxing. No! The driver came to make an appearance during the closing gala, which was also attended by Prince Albert and Princess Charlene.
Together with Ferrari boss Frédéric Vasseur, driver Charles Leclerc and his girlfriend, Alexandra Saint Mleux, Their Serene Highnesses posed on the red carpet.
We don’t know what we like more about the princely couple’s outfits: Charlene’s glittering statement look as lady in red, or the fact that Albert seems to have matched his tie to his wife.
We are not completely sure about the origin of Charlene’s outfit. Several sources report that the gown is yet another custom gem from the Louis Vuitton atelier, and given Charlene’s consistent choice of the French luxury label last week, we wouldn’t be surprised.
Toast with the barrel
In recent weeks the southern European coast has been teeming with aristocrats and celebs. We saw several prominent figures make their appearance on the red carpet of Cannes, and with Monaco next door, it is not surprising that they stayed longer in the region especially for the Grand Prix.
In addition to the Grimaldis, the Italian aristocrats, Prince Carlo, Princess Camilla Crociani, and their daughters, Princesses Maria Carolina and Maria Chiara, were also present.
And as if that wasn’t enough blue blood: Jean-Christophe Napoléon was also present, one of the two gentlemen who claim to be the rightful head of the House of Bonaparte.
Well, whether you have a throne to sit on or not: a VIP spot in the stands of the Monegasque Grand Prix is always nice, isn’t it? Both are undoubtedly more comfortable than the bucket seats that the average spectator could sit on this weekend.
