Monaco’s royal twins, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, certainly know how to rock a red carpet.

Today, the Monegasque royal family opened One Monte Carlo, a new residential shopping centre designed by Pritzker Prize winner Sir Richard Rogers. Princess Charlene wore a tailored grey jacket, and Prince Albert donned a suit and tie. Both looked poised, regal, and professional.

But it was four-year-old Jacques and Gabriella who stole the show. First, with their outfits: matching black leather jackets and sunglasses. Then, their general adorable demeanor: they held hands, and occasionally whispered with each other. Gabriella, hair in a braid crown, carried around a bouquet of daffodils and other spring flowers. Jacques flashed some goofy hand signs for the cameras.

The children are fresh off a vacation to Africa. On Instagram, Princess Charlene posted a video of their adventure, which included the children on safari—Jacques had some fun posing in their jeep—and playing in the grasses of the Savannah. “First African Experience,” she wrote.

Charlene was born in Zimbabwe and grew up in South Africa, so the visit was likely a homecoming of sorts, as well as a way for the twins to learn more about their own heritage.

In January, she posted a video montage of her and her children’s visit to New York City. While in the Big Apple, they visited the top of 30 Rockefeller Center, Natural History Museum, and the 9/11 Memorial.

Before that, it was Lapland, Finland for New Years, where they got to meet the ultimate celebrity: Santa Claus.

If Charlene’s Instagram and these red carpet photos are any indication, wherever Jacques and Gabriella go, they bring their adorable twinning attitudes with them.
