While this is their first public appearnce, this isn’t the first time the pair have shown off their tiny twins. The couple shared some adorable Christmas photos with the world, just days after their babies were born.
The Monaco twins, who were born on December 10, are the first royal heirs born in Monaco since the birth of their father 56 years ago.
The couple announced the pregnancy at the end of May, and the gender of the twins was apparently kept secret from Albert until their birth.
While Gabriella was the first of the twins to arrive, two minutes earlier then her brother, Monaco’s inheritance law will see Jacques take on the leadership of Monaco.
He will one day become the ruler of the country holding the title of his Serene Highness The Hereditary Prince of Monaco, Marquis of Baux while Gabriella has the title of Her Serene Highness The Countess of Carladès.
The pair were all smiles as they greeted the waiting crowds.
