In mid-September 2026, Prince Albert II and Princess Charlène of Monaco engaged in various diplomatic and humanitarian activities. The royal couple hosted the tenth edition of the SENS network at the Prince’s Palace, facilitating partnerships among small European Red Cross societies from nations such as Andorra, Cyprus, and Liechtenstein. During this period, Prince Albert II also formally received the new French Ambassador to Monaco, Christophe Lemoine.

By late September, the royal couple traveled to Metz, France, to meet with Pope Leo XIV on the final day of his apostolic journey. Attending a gathering titled ‘At the Roots of Europe for Peace and Unity’ alongside French President Emmanuel Macron and Luxembourg’s Grand Duke Guillaume, the royals participated in discussions regarding the future of European peace and unity.
