Monaco – The uniform of the heir to the throne swayed over his narrow shoulders. But the mischief of a ten year old child still continues to haunt him!
What a beautiful balcony show on a national holiday Monaco. While his parents, Princess Charlene and Prince Albert, confidently and routinely clocking the minutes on this important day for Monegasques, Prince Jacques – the next Prince of Monaco – gave himself a few moments of refreshing smiles.
Puffy cheeks, googly eyes, pouty lips and finger play on the balcony railing…
Is the sun dazzling? Or could Prince Jacques just not be able to stand being nice any longer?
Jacques was already wearing a military uniform
One day Prince Jacques of Monaco (had to) devote his life completely to the service of the crown. The ten year old child was already wearing a military uniform – although it was a little too big. But right now he just: Monaco grimaced!
After the traditional military parade on the Prince’s Palais’ Princier square, the Grimaldi family ascended to the venerable balcony. Wave, wave, wave. Appear friendly, smile discreetly, just don’t get too excited. And: absolute prohibition against unreasonable things.
Where would Jacques rather be right now? Maybe on a soccer field?
Jacques must have stopped listening for a moment in protocol class. To the delight of many royal fans!
Other princes also dominated Schnuten’s performances
And he’s not the only prince to lighten up such awkward moments with a little childish playfulness! In some photos, “Mini-Fürst Frech” is a bit reminiscent Prince Louisthe tomboy of William and Kate, who always “slows down” perfectly styled royal balcony photos with her grin and spontaneous mood.
Among the British royals, it is always Prince Louis (7) who keeps people entertained with spontaneous nonsense (here in 2023 at the “Trooping the Color” military parade).
Or even active Prince Oscar of Sweden (9), who has long been nicknamed “The Grimace King” in his country because of his no-nonsense attitude, but also because his snout sometimes looks very grumpy.
Have a good laugh! In 2018, the grumpy Swedish prince Oscar (then 2 years old) received guidance from his older sister Estelle (then 6 years old) regarding his bright face.
Obedient Princess and Grimace Prince
Next to Prince Jaques on the balcony for the national holiday was his twin sister Gabriella (two minutes older than him): with a professionally stony Monaco face like mother, immaculately coiffed in a red dress.
Obedient Princess and Prince Fratze – an unlikely team!
The prince’s hand wandered over the white palace balustrade. On December 10, Jacques and Gabriella celebrated their 11th birthday
Ah, is that how it works? Jacques saw Papa Albert II (67) pay his respects. Next to him: sister Gabriella and mother Charlène (47, in a white suit), behind them Caroline (68, left) and Stéphanie von Monaco (60, right)
What’s going on down there! Jacques leaned on his hands and watched the hustle and bustle with a smile
