Princess Charlene of Monaco wrapped up for the cold weather in a chic black coat as she joined her husband Prince Albert for a Christmas charity drive.
The royal mother-of-two, 45, opted for a double-breasted coat layered over a black outfit as she attended the Red Cross headquarters.
The couple spent the afternoon handing out Christmas presents to elders as part of the festive celebration.
It comes days after an adorable portrait of the the Monegasque royals was revealed by fan accounts for their 2023 Christmas card.
In the image, the royal, 65, and the former Olympic swimmer, 45, can be seen posing alongside their young children Crown Prince Jacques and his twin sister, Princess Gabriella, who both celebrated their ninth birthday last week.

While the Palace is yet to release the official portrait, an early copy was shared by a royal fan account on Instagram. The official version is expected to have higher definition.
Unlike the Prince and Princess of Wales’s casual Christmas card, Monaco’s royal family took a much more formal approach.

The South African-born Monegasque Princess’s skin glowed as she opted for minimal make-up
Princess Charlene looked spectacular in a sophisticated cowl neck velvet dress in burnt copper.
The mother-of-two sweetly embraced her son Jacques, who leant into his mother’s chest in the snap.
Smiling in front of a Christmas tree, Albert matched his son and dressed to the nines in a tuxedo. He stood behind his family for the photoshoot while keeping one hand firmly on his wife’s back.
Nine-year-old Gabriella put on a sweet display in a deep crimson dress, which, like her mother’s, was made of velour.
It comes after Princess Charlene stunned in a silver ensemble as she posed with Father Christmas at the Christmas Ball of the Hotel de Paris in Monaco last Friday.
The former Olympian was without her husband Prince Albert at the festive event.
Opting for classic Hollywood glamour, the South African born royal was sure to turn heads in the fitted glittering dress which she paired with diamond earrings and a bold make-up look.
With a striking red lip and smokey eye, the Princess styled her hair into a choppy bob.
