Often distant by their obligations, there was no question that they should pass that evening far from each other. On February 14th, the Sovereign Prince and Princess of Monaco celebrated their love with the sport giants they particularly loved during the Laureus Award ceremony.

Their Serene Highness Prince Albert II  and his wife Princess Charlene to spend together the evening of Valentine's Day with the sports personality. She had chosen for the occasion a sumptuous red dress by the stylist Caroline Herrera, and sported a finger on a new discreet and delightful ring. Three Cartier rings, one of which is paved with diamonds, symbolizing her three great loves: her husband, her children and sport.

In the hall of the sumptuous Palace of the Hermitage in Monaco, the princely couple, hand in hand, looked relaxed. As often as he can, the Prince joins there, ten minutes from the palace that so captures him, his wife and children who are staying there. The Princess prefers not to have to borrow several times a day, now that her twins frequent the principality's manger, this road, dangerous in winter, which winds its way to their property of Rocagel. And the Palace, still under construction, is not secure enough for Prince Jacques and his sister Princess Gabriella who are at the age when one runs and ventures everywhere.

Charlene, the South African, is breeding her cubs like a real lioness. She had also warned to want to free up her 2017 agenda to better devote herself to the first steps of her turbulent two-year-old twins: "an age so important that often condition the rest of life." But it was with her prince nonetheless that she wished to spend this evening celebrating love, even if to follow him in his obligations.
