Monaco's Princess Charlene reveals who 'real boss' is

Princess Charlene of Monaco has revealed her seven-month-old son Prince Jacques is a "real boss" and his twin sister Princess Gabriella is "developing a real princess attitude".

The 37-year-old royal has revealed her seven-month-old twins Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella - who she has with Prince Albert II - are already taking after their parents.

She said: "Jacques is a real boss. He's grown a lot and seems to have taken after his father. He only needs a little sleep, and he's looking around all the time.

"He's very observant and has developed a real protective side, which he directs towards his sister Gabriella. They interact in their own little world. It's amazing to watch them."

And the same can be said for the couple's daughter, the former Olympic swimmer has revealed.

She shared: "We've noticed, funnily enough, that she's developing a real princess attitude. I can tell you that her favourite colour is pink and that 'no' is a word she doesn't like.

"Our children share the same passion as us for the water. I'm sure they'll be swimming before they can walk."

And Princess Charlene praised her husband's "affection" for the two little ones.

She told Paris Match magazine: "He's an excellent father. He loves his children and is very affectionate with them. Family life is very important to him.

"It's always touching to see him talking to our children. Sometimes I catch him speaking to Jacques or Gabriella mid-conversation, and he's holding them in his arms with such tenderness."
