Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella continue to get more involved in public events as the children continue to come of age.
On Saturday, the pair joined their parents, Prince Albert and Princess Charlene, as they began hosting Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, for their state visit to the country. Their appearance marked the first time that the children had taken part in a state visit, and they were seen greeting their guests.
The French leader is in the country to further bolster the “strong ties” between the two countries.
In pictures shared at the start of the visit, Jacques was seen standing between his parents, while Gabriella stood next to Brigitte and held a small bouquet of flowers.
