For Prince Albert and Princess Charlene of Monaco, their children are the centre of their world.
The royal couple, who tied the knot in 2011, welcomed their twins – Princess Gabriella, Countess of Carladès, and Jacques, Hereditary Prince of Monaco – on December 10, 2014.
And since then, both Albert and Charlene have spoken at length about the joys of parenthood; in 2019, Charlene told Point de Vue that while being a mum can be “exhausting” she overall finds it “stimulating in many areas.”
She also revealed that Albert – despite being the reigning sovereign of Monaco – takes the kids to school every single day.
“He spends a lot of time with Jacques and Gabriella and takes care of them as often as he can,” Charlene said of her husband.
