A St. Patrick’s Day that brings back memories of a trip to Ireland between a father and his children
March 17 is Saint Patrick’s Day, patron saint of Ireland, in memory of his death on March 17, 461. Patrick is the evangelizer of Ireland. He is said to have explained the concept of the Trinity to the polytheistic Irish, using a shamrock to illustrate his words. The clover (called Clover) has become a symbol of Ireland, as has the color green.
Hereditary Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella honored their origins by donning a green dress for the Comtesse de Carladès and a green polo shirt for the Marquis des Baux, when they attended an event organized on the occasion of Saint -Patrick.

Prince Albert II is very proud of his Irish origins through Princess Grace. Since they were very young, he has also transmitted this passion for Ireland to his twins. Last September, Albert II of Monaco traveled to Ireland with Jacques and Gabriella to mark the 60th anniversary of the visit of Rainier and Grace of Monaco to the country. He had taken advantage of this trip to explain to his children the close link that unites them to Ireland.
On the occasion of Saint Patrick’s Day, Albert, Jacques and Gabriella attended a recital given at the Princess Grace Irish Library. Student musicians from the Academy of Music and Theater Prince Rainier III Foundation of Monaco had planned a small concert. After the performance, the twins rekindled memories of their trip to Ireland with photos taken during the stay, which were framed and displayed in the library.
