Prince Albert II and his younger sister, Princess Stéphanie, took over the dance floor at the glamorous Centennial Ball in Monaco.

The ball, held in honor of their late father, Prince Rainier III, was meant to showcase the Monegasque royal family in all its glory.

Did Princess Charlène skip the ball for this?

In attendance were Stéphanie's daughter, Camille Gottlieb, and her son, Louis Ducruet, along with his wife, Marie Ducruet.

However, one important member of the royal family was notably absent: Princess Charlène. Could it be that she canceled her participation to prepare for another event?

In fact, the next day, Charlène was seen cheering for her favorite South African rugby team during a match in Paris, as reported by 'Paris Match.' Albert was also there.

Despite Charlène's absence, the members of the Monegasque royal family relished their celebration.

Albert and Louis donned elegant dark tuxedos with black bow ties, while the ladies shimmered in sparkling outfits.

Stéphanie and Marie were dressed in light cream tones, while Camille wore a lavender dress. The ball was held to celebrate Prince Rainier's 100th birthday.

In addition to dinner, the opportunity was also used to collect donations from guests for Stéphanie's foundation to fight AIDS.
