Doubly proud Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene of Monaco present their twins, Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques, to the public for the first time, from the balcony of their palace, on Wednesday.
The family were greeted by a cheering crowd.
South African-born Princess Charlene, 36, smiled and waved, while Prince Albert, 56, was every inch the proud dad.
The event comes less than two weeks after the Palace of Monaco released images of Prince Albert II of Monaco and Princess Charlene posing with the twins at the Princess Grace Hospital in Monaco.
The Christmas-themed photographs showed the smitten parents gazing at their newborn children, with Princess Gabriella in pink and Prince Jacques in baby blue.
Gabriella was born first at 5.04pm, and Jacques at 5.06pm, but it is Jacques who will be the future Prince of Monaco, because of the Mediterranean principality’s male inheritance laws.
They are the first children for the 36-year-old former South African Olympic swimmer, who married Prince Albert II, 56, three years ago. - Daily News Reporter, Daily Mail and Staff Reporter
