The Princess is very involved with children, animals and the Monegasque community.
A big day for the Princely Family! Princess Charlene celebrated her 46th birthday on Thursday 25 January. To mark the occasion, Princess Charlene along with Prince Albert II and their children, Hereditary Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, enjoyed a lovely cake at the La Condamine market.
The special day is also a time for reflecting on the Sovereign’s spouse’s dedication to a number of causes, in Monaco and abroad, in particular in South Africa where she grew up.
Keenly aware of the problems faced by children in difficulty, Princess Charlene has campaigned for many years on educating young people through sports. Since its creation in 2012, her Foundation has already accomplished several major missions, the main one being to prevent drowning. Several tens of thousands of children throughout the world have been able to learn to swim thanks to the “Water Safety” programme.

And Princess Charlene has never given up her fight. Last November, she visited the Grimaldi Forum, to raise awareness about drowning prevention among over 300 young Monaco schoolchildren.
And for over ten years, the Princess’ Foundation has been carrying out initiatives in over forty different countries. The last Christmas Ball at the Hôtel de Paris, organised in aid of the Foundation, raised €150,000.
