The twins Gabriella and Jacques of Monaco are the pride
and joy of Princess Charlene and Prince Albert.
The 2nd and
royal fans throughout Europe are also delighted with the young
offspring.
Here are some interesting facts about the royal twins.
Gabriella and Jacques are the only children of their royal
parents.
The two children were born in Monaco on December
10th, 2014. Gabriella was born about two minutes before her
brother.
Nevertheless, Jacques will become the sovereign Prince of Monaco in
the future because the law states that male descendants have
a higher rank in the line of succession than any
female siblings, including older siblings.
This succession law is common in other countries as well.
The full titles of the siblings are quite long.
Gabriella's full name is Gabriella Teres Marie Grimaldi.
Her title is Princess Gabriella of Monaco,
Countess de Cala des.
Her brother Jacques is officially known as Jacques Honore Reignier
Grimaldi,
Hereditary Prince of Monaco, Marquis de Beau.
Through previous relationships of the Prince,
the twins have two half siblings.
Alexandre Coste and Jasmine Grace Grimaldi,
but they have no claim to the title.

Prince Renier the Third.
The twins never met their famous grandmother though who died
in
1982.
The royal children not only have noble and famous ancestors,
but their godparents are also noteworthy.
Charlene's brother Gareth Whitstock and Charlene's friend Nerine Pinar share
this task for both of the twins.
Other godparents include Christopher Levine Junior and Diane Di Bolignac
Nikra,
who belong to the Grimaldi family.
All of Monaco was able to take part in the
christening of the children.
The ceremony was broadcast live on a large screen in
front of the palace.
