Princess Charlene, 41, also told the magazine she feels “blessed with two healthy children, who give me so much love and happiness. They are smart, well behaved and kind. They know what they want, they speak very well and understand many things. It’s hard to believe they’re already four!”

And there’s no doubt that the royal twins are excited to the Christmas season to be in full swing very soon.
Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella “believe very strongly in Santa,”Charlene shared,adding that the kids “count the days until he comes down the chimney. They always leave a glass of milk and cookies for him, as well as water and grass for his reindeer.”
Charlene also says that her little ones may have indulged a little over the holidays.
“I’m sure all moms, like me, have already experienced the consequences of [the children eating] too many sweets, the excess sugar and the excitement that comes with it,” she joked.
