Back on April 19, 1958, when Prince Albert was just over one month old, Prince Rainier of Monaco (holding his daughter Caroline) and Princess Grace presented their newborn son Albert (in her arms) to residents of the principality of Monaco from the balcony of the palace. See this rare vintage video.

If you want to look ahead at what Princess Charlene may be up to in the coming years, read this account of Princess Grace’s first years with her children (and husband) inside the Palace.
