Monaco Omnisports celebrated its 101st AS Awards on Wednesday, November 12, honouring athletes, coaches, and volunteers at the Auditorium Rainier III. Representatives from the Principality’s 24 AS Monaco sections were recognised for their commitment and performances, with medals of honour and other distinctions presented throughout the evening.

Her Serene Highness Princess Charlene visited the Joya jewellery exhibition at One Monte-Carlo on Thursday, November 13. Curated by Vanessa Margowski and Delphine Pastor-Reiss, the event showcased a range of pieces spanning ancient artefacts, vintage gems, and contemporary design.

On Friday, November 14, the Princely Couple continued a longstanding tradition at the Monaco Red Cross headquarters. Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene personally distributed festive gift parcels to 115 senior citizens in need, offering support and seasonal goodwill ahead of National Day.

Also on November 14, the Monaco Red Cross marked World Diabetes Day with a public screening initiative in Fontvieille. Two walk-in testing tents provided free blood-sugar checks, highlighting the importance of early detection at a time when more than 11 percent of adults worldwide are affected by diabetes.

The 26th edition of No Finish Line began on Saturday, November 15, under the Fontvieille big top. Princess Charlene officially opened the charity event, which supports Children & Future and has already attracted 12,000 pre-registered participants.

Monaco’s sports community was recognised once again on November 17 at the Physical Education and Sports Medal Ceremony at Stade Louis II. Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene presented honours to athletes, coaches, volunteers and officials for their dedication across the year.

Presentations for National Day medals began on November 17, with Prince Albert II awarding decorations in the Order of Saint Charles, including Roger Rossi, elevated to Grand Officer. The Order of Grimaldi ceremony followed, acknowledging merit in service to the Principality across three ranks.

Monaco’s National Day on November 19 was marked by traditional celebrations, starting with the Te Deum mass at Monaco Cathedral, attended by the Princely Family. The day combined ceremony, community pride, and longstanding cultural customs.

In sport, AS Monaco Basket ended a two-match downturn with a decisive 84–52 victory over ASVEL at LDLC Arena. The 32-point win is the biggest EuroLeague victory in the club’s history, surpassing their previous record margin of 30 points.
