On the eve of Monaco’s National Day, Princess Stéphanie of Monaco continued a cherished annual tradition, personally delivering more than 900 gift packages to elderly residents of the Principality at the Foyer Rainier III senior center.
Accompanied by her daughter, Camille Gottlieb, the princess spent the afternoon distributing the presents and sharing warm conversations with the seniors. The carefully prepared packages, wrapped in festive red, contained a selection of treats and practical items intended to brighten the holiday season for Monaco’s older citizens.
The visit, marked by smiles, affectionate exchanges, and small gestures of kindness, has become an anticipated fixture in the principality’s pre-National Day calendar. Residents and staff alike described the encounter as a heartfelt reminder of the palace’s ongoing commitment to the well-being of Monaco’s senior community.

The tradition reflects Princess Stéphanie’s long-standing dedication to social causes within the principality, complementing her broader philanthropic work through organizations such as Fight AIDS Monaco.
