Prince Albert and Princess Charlene welcomed three-month-old Anna Carlevaris and her parents to the Monaco Town Hall on September 30. The high-profile reception celebrated a historic demographic milestone for the principality: the arrival of its 10,000th citizen, as dilei.it reported.
Palace Reception Marks Historic Demographic Milestone
Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene hosted the family of the young infant at the municipal building to mark the achievement. An official statement from the Palace, shared on Instagram and cited by dilei.it, noted that the milestone reflects a remarkable growth in the national community despite the small geographic size of the territory. For several years, Monegasques have formed the largest community within the principality. The birth of baby Anna last June provided the exact figure needed to reach the 10,000-citizen threshold.
Monaco Community Triples Over Recent Decades
Official Palace figures released during the reception confirm that the Monegasque community has tripled in size in a few decades. Citizens are now established as the dominant demographic group locally. This symbolic milestone highlights decades of steady population expansion in the city-state.
Princess Charlene Wears Sleeveless White Midi Dress
Photographer Frédéric Nebinger captured the ceremony at the Town Hall. Princess Charlene wore a sleeveless, midi-length white dress featuring a round neckline, flared skirt, belted waist, and embossed floral motifs, paired with patent leather pumps and her hair styled in an elegant chignon, dilei.it reported.
Royal Warmth at the Municipal Gathering
The white ensemble followed a similar choice worn days prior during a meeting in France with Pope Leo. Zazoom.it noted that the princess showed clear affection and warmth during the visit, interacting closely with the infant and holding her in her arms while posing for official photographs alongside Prince Albert and the baby’s parents. Zazoom.it also highlighted the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere of the municipal gathering.
