Let’s face it, kids are unpredictable — and when you're talking about royal toddlers, well, things can get even more interesting. That’s exactly what happened during the National Day of Monaco celebrations in Monte Carlo on November 19. Twins Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, adorable three-year-olds, decided to drop their toys off the balcony at the Prince’s Palace, proving that even royalty can’t resist a little mischief.
Standing alongside their mother, Princess Charlene, and their father, Prince Albert II, the twins were waving cheerfully to the crowd below. But as any parent knows, things can take a turn in an instant when you’re dealing with toddlers. That’s exactly what happened when Prince Albert stepped away briefly to review the troops during the ceremony.
The Balloon Incident: A Royal Oops
Now, here’s where things got interesting. Gabriella, the little blonde princess, had been entertaining herself all morning with a bright orange balloon. But when her dad stepped away, the balloon slipped from her tiny hands and floated gracefully off the balcony, landing in the courtyard below. If you were watching the live stream, you couldn’t help but notice the look of pure shock and concern on her face as the balloon drifted away. It was one of those moments that made the internet stop and say, “Aw, poor thing!”

Toy Trouble Strikes Again: Jacques’ Turn
As the celebrations continued and the National Day festivities came to a close, the crowd began to cheer with a resounding "hip hip hooray!" That’s when Jacques, the mischievous little prince, decided it was his turn to contribute to the chaos. In the excitement of the moment, his beloved toy soldier slipped from his hand and followed the same path as Gabriella’s balloon, tumbling off the balcony and landing with a thud below.
Initially, both Jacques and Gabriella looked a bit panicked, but kids are resilient, aren’t they? Moments later, the siblings were back to waving and blowing kisses to the crowd, seemingly unfazed by their little toy mishaps. It’s moments like these that remind us that even royal toddlers aren’t immune to the occasional oopsie.
Even though Gabriella lost her balloon and Jacques lost his action figure, the twins seemed to have a blast throughout the celebrations. An insider shared with People, “Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella are just coming to the right age now. They have this delight in things. They’re able now to participate in the pageantry. Clearly, they enjoyed themselves today.”
