Bal de Noël 2025

T.S.H. Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene attended the traditional Bal de Noël on Friday, December 12, held in the magnificent Salle Empire of the Hôtel de Paris.

A flagship charitable event of the Principality, this 20th edition of the Bal de Noël, placed under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Princess Charlene, once again brought together many guests around an essential cause: supporting children.

The evening was highlighted by an auction conducted by Sotheby’s, with all proceeds donated to the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation to support its initiatives in drowning prevention and in educating children through the values of sport.

A highlight of the gala: H.S.H. Princess Charlene received the “Monaco Star” Award from Sandrine Knoell, organizer of the event—an honor recognizing her commitment to serving children through her Foundation. This marked the very first presentation of the award by the International Action Committee of the Christmas Ball, created to honor individuals working for the well-being of young people.

An evening marked by solidarity, elegance, and a strong commitment to youth.
