Royal 3-year-old twinsPrince Jacques and Princess Gabriella of Monacoare stubborn, energetic and early to rise — according to their mom,Princess Charlene.
In a new interview with French magazinePoint de Vuein honor of their 7th wedding anniversary on July 1, Charlene, 40, wife ofPrince Albert, 60, discussed how her life has changed in recent years — mostly because of her little ones.

But now, the African-born Olympic swimmer’s life is all about foundation work and her kids’ schedules.
“There are mornings where they sleep a little later than usual and those where they wake up much earlier,” she said. “At age 3 1/2, they’re so full of life, to the point that they sometimes seem to me to have too much energy for their age.”
“We discover them even closer accomplices than we imagined,” Princess Charlene said. “Jacques is very reserved. He is sure of himself, but he likes to take his time doing things, to observe them, and no one can force him to do anything.”
On the other hand, “Gabriella, for her part, is not afraid of anything. With her it is always full steam ahead!”
And clearly, their personalities complement each other: “Jacques is the love of Gabriella’s life. Neither Albert nor I can interfere in their relationship. Our children are very independent and always make decisions together. Sometimes they tell us no.”
The twins stand up to both their parents equally, Charlene adds: “In some cases, we wind up questioning ourselves if what we’re doing could be wrong. But Jacques and Gabriella are strong together, and we must accept it.”
