The year 2025 was particularly eventful for the Princely Family. Here’s a look back at the moments that marked these twelve months.
Prince Albert II, Princess Charlene, the Princely twins Jacques and Gabriella, Princess Stéphanie, Princess Caroline, Pierre, Charlotte and Andrea Casiraghi, Louis and Marie Ducruet, Camille Gottlieb and Alexandra of Hanover: every member of the Grimaldi family contributed to writing the history of the Principality in 2025. From official appearances and personal commitments to boat shows and charity events, cultural inaugurations and international awards, Monaco Tribune looks back at their highlights.

In September, the Sovereign honoured the Monaco Yacht Show, a key event in the Monegasque calendar, with his presence. This visit confirmed Prince Albert II’s commitment to the maritime sector and the yachting industry, which are economic pillars of Monaco. Prince Albert II spoke with exhibitors and partners, reaffirming the Principality’s support for this strategic sector.
Princess Charlene
Partner in the Rokethon

In November, the Sovereign’s wife took part in Rokethon alongside Harley, her eight-year-old Chihuahua. This day of solidarity once again highlighted her commitment and passion for animal causes. On that day, she walked the symbolic kilometre around the Fontvieille marquee.

This family tradition allowed the young heirs to participate in a highlight of Monegasque life, marking the start of the end-of-year festivities. Their appearance delighted the Monegasques who turned out in large numbers for the occasion.

True to her long-standing commitment, Princess Stéphanie paid a poignant tribute to the victims of HIV at the Oceanographic Museum in December. This event was a reminder of her unwavering commitment to the fight against AIDS, a cause she has championed for decades through her association Fight Aids Monaco. The ceremony brought together many people involved in prevention and support.
Princess Caroline

In March, Princess Caroline presided over the awards ceremony for the writing competition ‘Aux Cœurs des Mots’, representing her brother, Prince Albert II, Honorary President of the association. This fourth edition, hosted by author Laurence Genevet, had the theme ‘My difference, my strength’ and invited participants to put themselves in the shoes of a journalist meeting someone who had overcome discrimination.

The YCM Awards

Princess Caroline’s son received a prestigious award from Prince Albert II at the 2025 YCM Awards in December. This award recognises his involvement in the world of sailing and his commitment to the Yacht Club de Monaco. It is a crowning achievement that continues the Grimaldi family’s maritime tradition and confirms his expertise in this field.

On 23 April, Charlotte Casiraghi attended the traditional Saint George’s Day Mass at Sainte-Dévote Church, celebrated in honour of the patron saint of the Public Security Department. As patron of the Monegasque security forces since 1997, Princess Caroline’s daughter continues a link that has united the Princely Family with the Principality’s institutions for several generations. A week later, on 30 April, she took part in the inauguration of the Principality’s 14th police station at the Jardin Exotique.
Andrea Casiraghi
Discretion and family life

The eldest of the Casiraghi children kept a low profile in 2025, focusing on his family life. Alongside his wife Tatiana Santo Domingo, who continued her commitment to ethical fashion with a high-profile photo shoot with their daughter, Andrea Casiraghi cultivates a more secluded existence away from public life. This discretion contrasts with the activities of his younger siblings.
Louis and Marie Ducruet
50 years of Europa Park

In July, Louis and Marie Ducruet attended a gala evening at the Europa-Park Arena to mark the amusement park’s 50th anniversary. On a big screen, guests were able to relive the most memorable moments in the park’s history, since its inception in 1975. The presence of the Princely Family was explained by the announcement of the creation of a themed area dedicated to Monaco within Europa-Park, scheduled for 2026.
Camille Gottlieb
Organising the Global Gift Gala

Princess Stéphanie’s daughter marked the year by organising the first Global Gift Gala in Monaco in October, through her agency CMC. This prestigious event, which saw Princess Stéphanie honoured by Eva Longoria at the Hôtel de Paris, confirmed Camille Gottlieb’s involvement in high-profile charity events. This success bodes well for the Monegasque agency’s future.
Alexandra of Hanover
A first book in the works

Princess Caroline’s daughter took part in the inauguration of the ‘Couleur!’ exhibition at the Grimaldi Forum in July, alongside Prince Albert II. This cultural presence demonstrates her attachment to artistic events in the Principality. In December, the young woman also surprised everyone by revealing a writing project on her social media accounts. Usually discreet about her personal life, Alexandra of Hanover could thus be taking a new step by embarking on a literary adventure.
It has been a busy year, demonstrating the Princely Family’s ongoing commitment to Monaco and the causes that are dear to them.
