그것의 “back to the tree” for Monaco’s royal family this year.

PEOPLE can reveal exclusively the latest holiday card from the principality, featuring a recent image of Prince Albert II 그리고 샬린 공주 in formal pose with their son, 왕관 자크 왕자, and his twin sister, 공주 가브리엘라.

After last year’s greeting card featuring an artist’s painting of the royals, this year’s carte de voeux marks a return to full-on glamour photography with Princess Charlene looking radiant. Shot by staff photographer Eric Mathon, the card is a classic pose.

The text accompanying the portrait reads: “My family joins me in wishing you peace and joy for Christmas and a Happy New Year 2023” in English, French and Monegasque.

“아주 좋다,” says Prince Albert, who has been posing for annual cards since childhood. “We’re back beside the tree.”

This year’s portrait also sees the return of another newer Grimaldi family tradition: Princess Gabriella striking a scene-stealing pose — call it “holiday attitude.”

In past years, Gabriella’s playful nature has been seen munching an apple off the tree, examining decorations or fearlessly staring down the photographer. 올해, dressed in an apricot gown with a headband in her hair, she’s opted to strike a catwalk-ready pose.

Taken two weeks ago in the palace’s Salle des Gardes, the release of the annual card finds Prince Albert quietly optimistic for the coming year. Speaking to PEOPLE on Monday, 그가 설명했다, “Monaco is doing well, and we have some great family plans for the year and for next summer; and I’m looking forward to it.”

“I wish the geopolitical situation in the world would improve, and we all have to work on that — and even if we think we can’t or that what we don’t, we can all play a role,” 그는 계속한다. It’s the same for the environment — we just have to set our minds to it. We have to keep hope alive.”
