Princess Gabriella of Monaco, Countess of Carladès (Gabriella Thérèse Marie Grimaldi; born 10 December 2014), is the twin daughter of Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene and second in the line of succession to the Monegasque throne.
Birth
On 30 May 2014, it was announced that Princess Charlene was pregnant. After much speculation it was confirmed, on 9 October 2014, that the couple was expecting twins by the end of the year.[1][2] On November 21, 2014, the palace announced that each twin would have the right to a salvo of 21 cannon shots at birth. Forty-two cannon shots (twenty-one for each child) were to be fired from the Fort Antoine and church bells were to be rung for fifteen minutes.[3]In addition, the day would be declared a holiday.[4] On January 7, 2015 the children were presented to the Monegasque people.[5]
On 10 December 2014, Princess Gabriella was born at Monaco's Princess Grace Hospital, followed two minutes later by her brother, Hereditary Prince Jacques.[6] She was granted the title Countess of Carladès by her father.[7][8]
Gabriella has an older half-sister, Jazmin Grace Grimaldi, and an older half-brother, Alexandre Grimaldi-Coste, from her father's previous relationships.[9]
Christening
Gabriella and Jacques were baptised at the Cathedral of Monaco on 10 May 2015.[10] At this occasion, she was awarded the Grand Cross of the Order of Grimaldi [11]
