This year, Monaco’s traditional Christmas Ball was held in the Salle Empire at the Hôtel de Paris.

While Prince Albert II was in Paris for the Notre-Dame de Paris reopening ceremony on Saturday 7 December, Princess Charlene attended one of Monaco’s biggest end-of-year events: the Monaco Christmas Ball.

The theme of the 19th edition of the gala evening was ‘Paris-Monte Carlo’.

The emblematic event was attended by a host of famous guests. And as every year, an auction was held to raise funds for the Princess Charlene Foundation.
