Illumination of the Prince’s Palace – 250th Anniversary of the Independence of the United States 🇺🇸

To mark the 250th anniversary of the independence of the United States of America, H.S.H. the Sovereign Prince has exceptionally authorized the illumination of the Prince’s Palace in the colors of the American flag on the evening of Saturday, July 4.

This initiative forms part of the celebrations taking place around the world at the invitation of the Office of the Chief of Protocol of the United States to commemorate this historic anniversary and highlight the bonds of friendship that unite the United States with its international partners.

Through this symbolic gesture, the Principality of Monaco wishes to pay tribute to a defining moment in American history and reaffirm the depth of the longstanding friendship and cooperation between Monaco and the United States.

The year 2026 holds special significance in the history of relations between the two countries. It marks both the 20th anniversary of the opening of the Embassy of Monaco in Washington, D.C., and the 70th anniversary of the marriage of Prince Rainier III and Princess Grace, whose union helped forge enduring and privileged ties between the Principality and the United States.

The illumination of the Prince’s Palace stands as a lasting symbol of the friendship between the Principality of Monaco and the United States, while recalling the historic, human, and cultural ties that have brought the two nations together for generations.
