Princess Charlene, the Grimaldis & the Casiraghis celebrate Monaco’s National Day

The Royal Family of Monaco poses on the balcony of the Palace for National Day

I clicked on this photo set because I wanted to see Princess Charlene’s hat. I ended up staying in the photo set as a mixture of lust and horror filled my body. Lust because… I’m completely hot for Pierre Casiraghi, and horror because I cannot even believe how terrible Andrea Casiraghi looks these days. Good lord. These photos are from Monaco’s big National Day events, where the royal family all gathers on the balcony of their palace, and then some of them go out to greet the peasants.

Princess Charlene and Prince Albert brought out their heirs, little Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques. What I enjoy about ALL of these kids is that it’s almost like the Grimaldi genes always do the same thing in kids: they’re all beautifully grumpy blondes, all with the same “bow down, peasant” expression. Pierre Casiraghi is rocking the f–k out of his beard and yes, I know I’m pretty much alone in my attraction to him. But that guy is HOT to me. Andrea is trying to do the beard thing too, only he looks an unkempt heroin addict. What else… Pierre’s wife Beatrice looks impossibly chic. Princess Caroline is trying to wrangle her grandchildren. Princess Alexandra – the result of Caroline’s terrible third marriage – is trying to help out with all of her little nieces and nephews.

… And Charlene’s hat is so bad! She just looks kind of awful and frumpy in general.

    Pierre and James Middleton look alike. (Sorry).

  2. Emby says:

    I find Pierre hot, too.

    Andrea used to be hot, but has looked like a rapidly aging drug addict for the past decade or so, which…I think he just is.

  3. JAC says:

    Her hat is amazing! The rest of the outfit not so much, but the hat? Beautiful.

  4. minx says:

    I’m a Charlene stan, love seeing pictures of her. I love the hat, but the outfit is frumpy.
    Pierre and Beatrice are, as always, gorgeous and their babies are adorable.

  5. Malificent says:

    For a second, I almost thought Charlene was pregnant again. But on second look, I think it’s just an oddly cut coat and way too many fillers.

  6. Maria says:

    So many cute kids. I guess Charlotte wasn’t there?

  7. Natalie S says:

    Andrea is actually looking slightly better. He used to look even more strung out.

    The baby Pierre is holding looks just like Andrea did when he was a baby.

  8. Lightpurple says:

    Did Albert borrow the pants of a much taller man? Those pants are way too long and the fabric is hanging over the heels of his shoes.

    Charlene always looks so unhappy – i hope she is ok

    • minx says:

      I always wonder about her, she looked miserable at their wedding and there were so many stories flying around. She seemed happier after the birth of the twins.

    When I was a French teenager (as opposed to a French woman so not in her teens!) I remember that Andrea was like « our » Prince William. He was so handsome! Time has not been kind to him. Charlotte still is as stunning as ever. (I mean in general. I know she wasn’t there. She just gave birth).

  11. Lynne says:

    I was just thinking when I saw charlenes pic,,,,,is she pregnant again?

  12. NicoleinSavannah says:

    Pierre is hot! He and Beatrice are always stunning. He looks like hos pops. I do agree that he has a resemblance to James Middleton or vice versa. Because James is so jelly!

  13. Why? says:

    Are there any stories of what the casiraghis are like? Charlotte in particular. She’s my fav and seems the nice one.

    They all look miserable.
