The Naked Heart Foundations mission is to help build an inclusive society, open to people with disabilities and special needs, through play and free support services for children and their families. The Beslan school siege of 2004 motivated Natalia Vodianova to set up the Foundation. Desperate to do something to help, she thought that if young survivors could be distracted by play, it would help them to heal. As a mother who grew up in poverty in urban Russia, Natalia Vodianova understands the importance of play.

5th Annual Palace Day in Monaco

The Prince’s Palace of Monaco celebrated the 5th Palace Day, an annual event on 19 July developed by the Association of European Royal Residences.

Monegasque National Day

This years theme was music, a theme that has been relevant in the Palace since the reign of Prince Honoré II (1597-1662), when the Palace of Monaco attracted musicians and served as a backdrop for court ballets, including the Analects of Diana and Apollo in 1654 and Le Vittorie di Minerva in 1655.

In 1959, Prince Rainier and Princess Grace decided to host an annual season of symphonic concerts in the palaces main courtyard, where the best international performers performed. The brass band for the Carabiniers du Prince was formed in 1979. The band became an orchestra in 2014 and gave a concert for the annual general meeting of European Royal Residences last year.

The Princes Palace commemorated the special theme by sharing important tidbits and photographs about music in the Palace on social media throughout the day.
