Her Serene Highness Princess Charlene attended the 28th edition of the much-loved charity event “Frankie’s Christmas” on Wednesday, November 26, at the Rainier III Auditorium…
The festive evening was held under the High Patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II and brought together hundreds of children and families for an emotional start to the holiday season.
Organised by the Monegasque association Les Enfants de Frankie, founded in 1997 by Mrs Francien Giraudi, the annual event is dedicated to supporting sick, disabled and vulnerable children from Monaco and the wider Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region. Since 2023, the association has also benefited from the Honorary Presidency of HSH Prince Albert II, further strengthening its mission and visibility.
Each year, “Frankie’s Christmas” offers a unique experience built around two special performances created and presented by young artists who are themselves facing serious health challenges. For the 28th edition, the audience was treated to a vibrant and emotional show entitled “Dance with Frankie”, blending music, movement and storytelling in a celebration of resilience and joy.
HSH Princess Charlene followed the performance with visible emotion before joining the young performers on stage at the end of the show. She personally congratulated the children and paid tribute to both their courage and the remarkable production, highlighting the commitment of the association’s many volunteers who work behind the scenes throughout the year.
Once again, “Frankie’s Christmas” lived up to its reputation as one of Monaco’s most touching annual events, combining generosity, creativity and hope in a truly unforgettable celebration for children who need it most.
