Princess Charlene has had a quiet few days celebrating Christmas with her twin children Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella at their sprawling royal palace home in Monaco.

While the setting of their Christmas dinner may be lavish, the Zimbabwean-born royal, 46, is to keep things down-to-earth with a special tradition with her twin children, 10.

The Monagasque royal family also have a special public-facing tradition which they upheld once again this year. The royal couple hosted an annual gift-giving event at Prince’s Palace where children are invited to the royal residence to receive Christmas presents.

This year, Charlene rocked a red tartan scarf to jazz up an all-black ensemble as she was accompanied by her children in the Court of Honour at the Princier Palace. 

The royal pair also took to Instagram earlier this week to share a rare insight inside the palace to show their Christmas tree. The space, which is painted midnight blue, was adorned with an enormous tree covered in warm lights and red and gold baubles.

Gabriella and Charlene have made twinning their sartorial modus operandi this season. The former Olympic swimmer was spotted in a cropped caramel-hued leather jacket to match her daughter’s riding boots for the inauguration of the Christmas village in Monaco earlier this month.
