Princess Charlene and Prince Albert's nine-year-old twins Princess Gabriella Thérèse Marie Grimaldi and Prince Jacques Honoré Rainier Grimaldi share the sweetest sibling bond.

The duo were born in 2014, with Prince Jacques arriving into the world two minutes after his sister. Despite being born after Gabriella, Jacques is the heir to the Monegasque throne, as male-favourted primogeniture rules still stand in Monaco.

She has also spoken about their responsibilities in the royal family, telling Monaco Tribune: "Jacques and Gabriella were born with responsibilities and duties. They are still children, but they are beginning to understand their roles. With my husband, when we are due to go to an event, we explain to them what the event is, what the ceremony is."
