This Wednesday, July 9, Princess Gabriella of Monaco experienced a very special day. The youngest daughter of Prince Albert of Monaco and Charlene was the main protagonist of an event full of symbolism. At 10 years old, she received a tribute in the French town of Vic-sur-Cère and there, she was recognized in a very meaningful way.
Although she usually appears in public with her twin brother, Prince Jacques, this time she excelled on her own. Her family was present, yes, but the spotlight was focused solely on her.
Prince Albert of Monaco and Charlene accompanied their children, proud and smiling. Jacques, always protective of his sister, was also by her side.

Gabriella, born on December 10, 2014, has held the title of Countess of Carladès since birth. Interestingly, although she was born a few minutes before her brother, Jacques is the one who holds first place in the line of succession, because the Salic law is still in force in Monaco. However, this detail hasn't stopped Gabriella from having her big moment today.
The city of Vic-sur-Cère, former capital of the County of Carladès, wanted to pay her a special tribute. A square was named in her honor: Princess Gabriella Square. In addition, local authorities gave her the key to the city, a gesture full of affection and solemnity.
The entire princely family traveled there to take part in the ceremony. Gabriella greeted everyone naturally and with a shy smile. She posed for the cameras, listened to the speeches, and thanked everyone for the gesture politely.

With this event, Princess Gabriella took a symbolic first step within her family's institutional life. It was an unforgettable day.
