Formula One racing may be all about fast cars, but in Monaco, it's the royal family who set the pace around the Grand Prix circuit.

Princess Charlene made her first visit since 2019 to Monaco's Formula One event on Sunday, alongside her husband, Prince Albert and their twins, Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques.

The former Olympic swimmer delighted racing fashion fans with a powder blue jumpsuit with a back-to-front collar designed by Terrence Bray. 

Speaking at a Monte-Carlo Fashion Week event earlier in the week, the princess revealed that Sunday's race was a historic one for the royal family. It was the first time 7-year-old Prince Jacques did the lap of honour with his father ahead of lights out.

"This year, Jacques will be doing the lap of honour with his dad for the first time. That will be a source of great pride for us," she told local publication Monaco Matin.

Princess Gabriella also participated in the event as she assisted her mom in handing out the trophies to the top 3 drivers of the day.

On Saturday, Charlene and Albert went on an informal walk around during Qualifiers, thanking volunteers, greeting fans, and mixing with drivers and celebrities, including Patrick Dempsey.
