Raphaël Elmaleh launches Christmas in Monaco with Jacques and Gabriella
Charlotte Casiraghi’s son joined Hereditary Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella on December 2, 2022 to light up the illuminations at Place du Casino in Monte-Carlo. A first for Raphaël Elmaleh, increasingly highlighted at official events in Monaco.
Night begins to fall on Monaco. On Port Hercule where the Christmas market has just been recognized by Princess Charlene and the twins Jacques and Gabriella, the wife of Prince Albert II is heading, with her children, to the Place du Casino de Monte-Carlo for a last highlight.
Alongside the Princess of Monaco, Charlotte Casiraghi cannot hide her good humor. The daughter of Princess Caroline of Hanover regained her child’s soul during the opening of the market whose theme “Christmas in Spitsbergen” comes to close the celebrations of the centenary of the death of Albert I, explorer prince who landed at many times on this Danish island for his research.
In front of the Casino and the Hôtel de Paris where Jean-Luc Biamonti, the president-delegate of Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer, and Stéphane Valeri, the administrator of the SBM, are already waiting, Charlotte finds her eldest son, Raphaël Elmaleh . A little intimidated but reassured by the presence of his mother, the boy joins his little cousins for the inauguration of the illuminations of the Place du Casino. He wears a pretty burgundy bow tie, very chic, which gives him a serious look.
Already present during the national holiday on November 19, 2022, the son of Gad Elmaleh participates more and more regularly in the events that punctuate official Monegasque life with the rest of the main family.
Hereditary Prince Jacques, Princess Gabriella and Raphaël, with their hands on the buzzer, together trigger the luminous decorations, too impatient to see the snow-covered fir trees and the facade of the Casino light up. The magic of Christmas then delights young and old.
Barely time to warm up with a hot chocolate served in the Café de Paris chalet that the children do not need to be asked to take pictures with the characters who will animate the SBM attractions. That evening, just for them, Captain America and Olaf, one of the heroes of the cartoon Snow Queen. The festive season is won and attributed to Monaco with the traditional Christmas tree in the Prince’s Palace on December 14. Could Santa’s elves count on Raphaël’s help? Maybe another surprise…
