Monaco’s Royals Distribute Christmas Gifts

The royal trio of Monaco were united Wednesday to give Christmas presents to the tiny principality’s children, and allow those kids to see Christmas Tree at the Palace.

This has been a Monagesque tradition since 1956 when Prince Rainier and Princess Grace began inviting the youth of Monaco to their royal residence.

And now their three children keep that tradition alive. Prince Albert II, Princess Caroline and Princess Stephanie held a snack for the kids before giving out the presents. Santa Claus was on hand to greet the children, providing a very royal and holiday delight for them.

Giving out gifts to children is not the only Christmas tradition in Monaco. The princely family also distributes presents to the  sick in the hospital and pay visits to the elderly.
