Princess Charlene and Prince Albert of Monaco stepped into the royal spotlight with their children on Sunday as they joined the nation in marking Monaco's National Day at the Palais Princier. 

Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, both eight, put on a united front beside their parents, looking immaculate in matching outfits as they twinned in tailored outfits. 

While Jacques was his father's mini-me in a military uniform, Princess Gabriella looked sublime in a double-breasted navy coat designed by Parisian fashion house Didierangelo.
