Princess Charlene of Monaco and her husband, Prince Albert II, led the principality's royal family in celebrating National Day on November 19, joining thousands of residents and visitors for a series of traditional events at the Princes Palace and Grimaldi Forum.

Princess Charlene wore a tailored white pantsuit by Giorgio Armani, featuring a single-breasted blazer with angular lapels, wide-leg trousers, and a white blouse with lavallière detailing.
