For decades, royal families in monarchies around the world have upheld the tradition of releasing official holiday cards in the lead-up to the New Year and Christmas festivities. These cards are sent as gifts to everyone who extends their holiday greetings to the royals.

This year, the first to unveil their card were Prince Albert II of Monaco and his wife, Princess Charlene. A photo of the couple with their 10-year-old twins, Jacques and Gabriella, was shared on the official Instagram account of the Monaco royals.

For the festive portrait, the family opted for cozy, homely outfits. Princess Charlene wore a light brown sweater, matching trousers, and boots in the same hue. Daughter Gabriella was dressed in a white sweater and trousers, complemented by golden shoes. Jacques donned a beige sweater and black trousers.

Prince Albert coordinated with the family’s color palette, wearing a white sweater, a light brown checked shirt, and dark trousers. The family posed together in front of a festively decorated fireplace and a Christmas tree.

Now, we eagerly await the holiday photos from other royal families!
