The twins of the Duchy of Monaco turned 10 years old; Who will succeed Prince Albert?

Jacques and Gabriella became the twin children of Monaco's Prince Albert II and his wife Charlene, 10 years old. These twins, who were born on December 10, 2014, have attracted a lot of attention because they will play an important role in the future of this duchy.

According to the law of succession in Monaco, Jacques is the crown prince because, as a son, he has priority over his twin sister Gabriella. He will succeed his father, Prince Albert, as the next ruler of Monaco. This order of succession does not change even though Jacques and Gabriela are twins and Gabriela was born a few minutes earlier because the law gives priority to male children.

Albert II also has two unofficial children, one of whom is named Alexander Grimaldi Coste. He was born in 2003 from Albert's relationship with Nicole Coste, a former flight attendant. Prince Albert supports Alexander and has him by his side in some important events, but because Alexander was not the result of an official marriage, he cannot be his successor.

Prince Albert married former South African swimmer Charlene Wittstock in 2011. Before marrying Prince Albert, she became famous in the field of sports by winning the Olympics and won many honors. Charlene's sporting background has given the ducal family of Monaco a special appeal. Their wedding ceremony was one of the biggest royal events in Monaco. Jacques and Gabriella are the result of this marriage.

These two royal children are under special training to prepare for their future roles in running the affairs of Monaco. As a prominent member of the Garimaldi family, Gabriela will play an important role in the social and political life of Monaco alongside her brother.
