Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella cheer on mom Princess Charlene in intense water bike race

Princess Charlene had the support of her husband Prince Albert II of Monaco and their kids, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, at the challenge. On kick-off day, they posed for photos ahead of her time in hot seat.

As usual, Charlene’s five-year-old twins Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella stole the show with their adorable presence. Jacques looked every bit the seafarer in a blue and white ensemble, which featured a “J” cap. Meanwhile, Gabriella worked the cameras in her colorful sundress.

Charlene expertly navigated choppy waters on her bike. The aim of this new sporting challenge was to ride a water bike from Calvi to Monaco in the shortest time possible to raise awareness of the various programs run by the Charlene’s Foundation. These will include: “Learn to Swim” and “Water Safety.”

Her family cheered her on from the dock, waving as mom came in.

Charlene had a smile on her face as she saw the familiar crowd. She and her mates wore the signature colors of Monaco, of course: red and white. Her team was called “Serenity.”

The edurance required for the challenge was clear as Charlene kneeled to the ground and took a moment to catch her breath after competing.

Over the two day event, the royal as acted as a spectator, cheering on her teammates! Little Jacques and Gabriella clearly didn’t love all the noise.

Winners! Charlene celebrated the big win with her cohorts (and some spark effects) by crossing an actual finish line on Sunday, September 13.

Charlene’s brother Gareth Wittstock, who competed on an opposing team called “Notorious,” was a good sport. He appeared happy for his sis and her team.

Of course, the best way for Charlene to cap off her impressive stint was with a big bear hug. This cute photo captured her pulling the twins in close.

She quietly stole a masked kiss from Albert, too. congratulations, Charlene!
