A heartfelt message for Donald Trump
“On the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the independence of the United States of America, His Majesty the Sovereign Prince authorised, as an exception, the lighting of the Prince's Palace in the colours of the American flag on the evening of Saturday, July 4th,” the statement added.
The message also includes a symbolic representation of the neighbourhood by the Monaco Royal Family towards the 47th elected President of the USA.
“The initiative is part of celebrations held around the world at the invitation of the U.S. Office of the Chief of Protocol to mark this historic anniversary and highlight the ties of friendship that unite the United States and its international partners,” they continued.
Prince Albert also revealed that 2026 holds a special place in his heart as this year marks the 20th anniversary of the opening of the Embassy of Monaco in Washington and the 70th anniversary of the marriage of Prince Rainier III and Princess Grace.
Following King Charles' footsteps
