Albert shared that his youngest son Jacques went through a “very long Super Mario period,” but “that’s kind of ending now and moving into other spheres.”

As for a gift for his wife? Albert said “there could be two different gifts” for Charlene this year.

Albert recently told PEOPLE that he is “really proud” of Charlene. The Prince noted that 2021 was “a very tough year for her — and the beginning of this year,” but, “she’s really turned it around in an incredible way.” Albert also admitted that 2022 is “ending on a very, a very high note,” adding, “We’re truly thrilled about how things are.”
