Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene at Bal de Noël 

Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene of Monaco attended the 20th annual Bal de Noël in the sumptuous Empire Salon of the Hôtel de Paris in Monte Carlo on December 12th, in support of the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation.

An iconic charity event in the Principality, this 20th edition of the Christmas Ball, held under the High Patronage of HSH Princess Charlene, once again brought together many guests around an essential cause: supporting children.

The evening was punctuated by an auction orchestrated by Sotheby’s, the proceeds of which will be donated in full to the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation to support its actions in favor of drowning prevention and the education of children through the values ​​of sport.

A highlight of the gala was when HSH Princess Charlene received the “Monaco Star” award from Sandrine Knoell, the event organizer. This distinction recognizes her commitment to children through her Foundation. It was the very first time this award was presented by the International Action Committee of the Christmas Ball, which honors individuals working for the well-being of young people.

An evening dedicated to solidarity, elegance and commitment to youth.

Princess Charlene wore a Jenny Packham Gown with her Diamond Earrings.

The Duke and Duchess of Castro were also present.
