Princess Charlene and Prince Albert II welcome 10,000th citizen

Baby Anna Carlevaris is the 10,000th Monegasque citizen, a milestone reached as the local community has tripled over the last few decades despite the small territory. Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene welcomed the infant and her parents to the Monaco Municipality for an official reception, the outlet dilei.it reported.

Meeting the 10,000th Monegasque Citizen

Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene hosted a special gathering at the Monaco Town Hall on Wednesday, September 30. The reception honored three-month-old Anna Carlevaris, who was born last June. Her birth pushed the national community past the 10,000-citizen threshold.

Palace officials shared photographs of the gathering on the official Instagram account. The accompanying post noted that this highly symbolic figure reflects the remarkable growth of the national community. Monegasques currently form the largest community within the Principality.

Princess Charlene Wears White for the Municipality Reception

Photographer Frédéric Nebinger captured the ceremony at the Town Hall. Princess Charlene wore a white, sleeveless midi dress featuring a round neckline, a flared skirt, a belted waist, and embossed floral patterns. She paired the dress with patent leather pumps and styled her hair in an elegant chignon.

The white ensemble marked the second time in a few days that the Princess chose the color for a public appearance, following a meeting in France with Pope Leo. The white represents royalty, purity, and the delicacy of motherhood.

Interacting With Baby Anna at the Town Hall

During the visit, Princess Charlene spent time interacting directly with the infant. She allowed the baby to grip her finger before eventually holding her in her arms. The Princess maintains a close connection with children’s welfare topics and frequently visits the maternity ward at the Monaco hospital.

The official reception brought together the infant’s parents, the sovereign couple, and municipal officials.
