Monaco’s population came together on 19 September to take part in World Cleanup Day, a worldwide waste collection event which aims to raise awareness about pollution. Prince Albert took part in the event, along with his two children.
They could be seen wandering through the winding streets of Monaco’s old town, looking for cigarette butts and other types of waste. True to his dedication to the environment, Prince Albert took part in the eco-walk event, accompanied by the twins Gabriella and Jacques.
