On Tuesday 14 March, the Principality wished its Sovereign a happy birthday when he appeared at the window of the Prince’s Palace during the changing of the guard.
It was a surprise the tourists were probably not expecting. During the customary changing of the guard, Prince Albert II appeared at the Palace window, along with Hereditary Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella.

Below, the Carabinieri band played the world-famous “Happy Birthday,” originally Good Morning to All, a children’s song thought to have been written and composed in 1893 by two American sisters, Patty and Mildred Hill.
