Elephants, photo ops, and centennial celebrations at Circus Festival
But wait, there's more! The royal siblings didn't just sit back and enjoy the show; they got up close and personal at the elephants' buffet, rubbing shoulders—or should we say, trunks?—with the gentle giants. And let's not forget the photo ops! The family posed with a dazzling array of performers, immortalized in snapshots by the keen eye of photographer Jean-Francois Ottonello.
The circus festival wasn't just a family day out; it was a grand affair with Princess Stéphanie and her children, as well as Pierre Casiraghi, joining in the festivities. Celebrating its 50th anniversary, the event paid homage to its founder, Prince Rainier III, and his centennial with a grand parade and a 90-minute open-air performance that would have made the late prince proud.
Princess Stephanie's dazzling tribute to her father
Princess Stephanie, the festival's president, led the grand circus march, a tribute to her father's dream of being a circus director. From horses and elephants to tightrope artists, the procession was a feast for the senses, concluding at the palace where the performers put on a show that was nothing short of magical.
Prince Rainier's legacy lives on, not only through the festival but through his family's shared passion for the circus. As Princess Stephanie poignantly shared with 'People,' "Circus is the magic you should show your children... It's a world where people help one another." And on that note, the Monaco royals continue to spread the joy and wonder of the big top to the next generation.
