OSAKA, Japan — His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco will travel to Japan on the occasion of Monaco’s National Day, celebrated on June 28, 2025, as part of the World Expo 2025 Osaka Kansai. He will be joined by H.S.H. Princess Stéphanie, as well as Mr. Louis and Mrs. Marie Ducruet, Miss Pauline Ducruet, and Miss Camille Gottlieb, who will take part in this prestigious event that highlights the Principality’s commitment on the international stage.
H.S.H. Princess Charlene was due to accompany H.S.H. the Sovereign Prince of Monaco to Japan, together with Hereditary Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella. In light of current events taking place in the Middle East, this has led to the decision that H.S.H. Princess Charlene and the Princely children would not be participating in this trip. H.S.H. Princess Charlene wishes to express her sincere thanks to the teams of the Monaco Pavilion, as well as to the partners and hosts who were to welcome her in Japan, for their understanding and ongoing commitment.
The Expo, open to the public since April 13, 2025, on the artificial island of Yumeshima, carries the theme “Designing Future Society for Our Lives.” The Principality of Monaco is actively participating with a pavilion titled “Take Care of Wonder,” located in the “Connecting Lives” zone. This pavilion embodies Monaco’s humanistic and sustainable vision and illustrates its ongoing commitment to dialogue and international cooperation.
