Beatrice Borromeo makes first appearance since birth of daughter as she joins Monaco's royal family on National Day

Beatrice Borromeo has made her first public appearance seven weeks after giving birth, appearing alongside Monaco's royal family for the principality's national day celebrations.

Beatrice and Casiraghi, and their two sons Stefano and Francesco, were among the wider Monegasque royals to stand on the balcony of the Prince's Palace in Monte Carlo during National Day festivities.

The celebrations are held each year on November 19 and include a balcony appearance, mass at Monaco's Cathedral and a fireworks spectacular.

Prince Albert II lead the day's events alongside his wife Princess Charlene and their twins, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, who will turn 11 next month.

Prince Jacques, who is heir to the principality's throne, wore a military uniform like his father.

Armani designed many outfits for Charlene through the years, including her wedding gown and the blue suit she wore for the civil ceremony in 2011.

National Day is held every year on November 19.

Her daughter Princess Gabriella wore red, with her dress and Charlene's white suit mirroring the colours of Monaco's flag.

Beatrice, too, chose ruby and white diamond jewels in a nod to the principality's flag. Her tweed dress is by Dior.

Prince Albert and Princess Charlene were joined by their extended family including Princess Caroline and her other children Andrea and Charlotte and Princess Alexandra.

Princess Stephanie was there with her children Louis and Pauline Ducret and Camille Gottlieb.

In 2019, Prince Albert II spoke about the growing House of Grimaldi and the possible need to expand the palace to accommodate everyone.

Beatrice Borromeo and Pierre Casiraghi welcomed their daughter Bianca Caroline Marta on October 4.

"We're going to have to create new windows, build new balconies."

In the past, staff working at the palace would stand in the windows with the royal family, but that's no longer possible.

"There's no room," Prince Albert said. "Actually, it's a great feeling to have that many new members of the family and everybody seems to get along well."

National Day was first held in 1857 by Prince Charles III.
