After
the ceremony, which concluded with a message from Pope Francis, the
couple walked back to the nearby Prince's Palace.Surrounded by
traditional dancers they greeted friends, residents and tourists along
the way, having handed the babies to their nannies.
Jacques - who despite being the second born is the first
in line to the throne under Monaco succession laws - will on Sunday be
decorated with the Grand Cross of the Order of Grimaldi.
Princess Gabriella will receive the Grand Officer of the Order of Grimaldi decoration.
For
the crown prince, the godparents were chosen from Albert's side of the
family, while Gabriella's godmother is Charlene's brother and her
godmother, Nerine Pienaar - wife of Francois Pienaar, former captain of
the rugby team of South Africa, where Charlene spent her youth.
The baby twins were born December 10 just a couple of minutes apart and are the first and second in line to the throne.

most eligible bachelors, succeeded his father Prince Rainier in 2005 at
the age of 47.
He already had a daughter, Jazmin Grace, 22, after a fling with former waitress Tamara Rotolo.
He denied being her father for years before DNA tests proved otherwise when she was already a teenager.
Monaco has welcomed with joy the baptism of the principality's five-month-old royal baby twins.
