Princess Charlene reveals how Princess Gabriella prepared for the first day of school

Princess Charlene has revealed how her daughter, Princess Gabriella, prepared for her first day of school this year.

The Princess of Monaco took to Instagram to share two photos of Gabriella and her twin brother, Prince Jacques, ahead of their first day of school on Monday, 5 September.

Charlene revealed that Gabriella cut her own hair and then gave her brother a haircut ahead of the new school year.

The mother of two shared an emoji of a woman placing her palm to her head and said: “Looking forward to school on Monday …”

It appears the seven-year-old took a pair of scissors to her fringe and cut a chunk out in the centre. The haircut she gave Jacques is less apparent, but it does seem to be around his forehead.

This is not the first time Princess Gabriella has cut her own hair. Princess Charlene revealed in August 2021 in an Instagram post that Bella, as Charlene called her, tried to style her own hair. At that time, the Princess of Monaco wrote: “Sorry my Bella I tried my best to fix it.”

Prince Albert, Princess Charlene and their twins appeared before the press on 5 September as the new school year began; the Princely Palace also released images from the first day of school.
