This is the first time Prince Albert’s four children have been photographed together in public.

The four children of Prince Albert of Monaco have taken their first official family photo.

It was Jazmin Grimaldi, Albert Grimaldi’s 29-year-old daughter who recently posted a slideshow of images on Instagram looking back at the best moments of the year in 2021. When Alexandre Grimaldi-Coste, 18, was photographed holding her half-brothers, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, 7, who are Albert’s children with Princess Charlene, she appeared to be hugging them all. Alexandre and Nicole met Albert in 1997 while working as flight attendants.

Princess Gabriella’s short bangs provide a clue as to when the photo was taken, even though no other information was provided. Princess Charlene, the mother of Prince Albert’s twins, revealed in a family photo that “Gabriella decided to give herself a haircut” when the prince and his family visited South Africa in August.

In a 2015 Harper’s Bazaar interview, Jazmin discussed her relationship with her father for the first time. Jazmin met Prince Albert for the first time when she was 11 years old after a lengthy court process.

According to her interview with the magazine, she said she wanted that moment to connect with her father, “to get to know him and have him get to know me.” “Because I didn’t have that character around, I missed it. Everything worked out perfectly, and we’ve had a wonderful friendship ever since.”

Despite the fact that Jazmin never met her grandmother Grace Kelly, she says she felt a “connection” to the actress-turned-royal when she first saw High Society on the big screen. Kelly appears in the 1956 musical with Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra.

“It was the first time I realized that we shared a bond. In my spare time, I enjoy performing in theater, singing, and dancing “she explained. “In this film, I saw that in her. I got goosebumps all over again.”

Friends of Prince Albert and Princess Charlene tell PEOPLE that Charlene has been a driving force in Albert’s desire to develop closer and more engaged relationships with Jazmin and Alexandre since he was a young boy.

A close friend of Princess Charlene claims that, contrary to popular belief, she has been working to bring the royal family together rather than opposing Albert’s relationships with his older children.

Albert himself admitted that he and his wife’s relationship with their older children has improved over the years “was shaped by history She has become more open-minded.”
