On September 26, 2025, Monaco will once again host the Grand Ball of Princes and Princesses at Sporting Monte-Carlo, an event that brings together royalty, glamour, and cultural artistry in an unforgettable celebration of elegance. Organized under the High Patronage of HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco and in honor of the late Grace Kelly, the ball promises to transport its guests into a world of wonder, recalling the romantic splendor of an aristocratic age while embracing the sophistication of the present day.
The Grand Ball was conceived by Delia Grace Noble, who sought to create a space where guests could experience the wonder of royal life for just one night. Since its inception, the event has traveled to cities such as Dubai, London, and Capri, but its return to Monaco - the very heart of the French Riviera - carries special significance. The evening will unfold in a royal ballroom atmosphere, where the fusion of world-class performances, exquisite dining, and artistic entertainment will create a sense of living history.
At its core, the event is a tribute to the legacy of Princess Grace, with a portion of the proceeds supporting the Princess Grace Foundation, which aids vulnerable children. The ball thus merges opulence with compassion, offering a night where splendor is matched by generosity.
Guests will dress in ceremonial military uniforms, tuxedos, and grand ball gowns, evoking the glamour of a bygone era. The banquet, featuring delicacies crafted to captivate, will add to the occasion’s sense of timeless luxury. Throughout the evening, performances will include sopranos, dancers, jugglers, and musicians, each contributing to a spellbinding atmosphere that feels at once familiar and otherworldly.
The Grand Ball of Princes and Princesses is not simply a celebration of beauty; it is an immersive experience that invites guests into a dream-like state, where art, culture, and royal tradition intertwine. As Monaco’s palaces and sea provide the backdrop, reality will dissolve for a brief moment, leaving only a vision of divine grace and a reminder that, in the heart of luxury, the wonder of royalty is still alive.
