Monaco's head of state spoke exclusively with the newly launched PEOPLE Royals magazine about being a father to 6-year-old twins Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella — and how different the royal siblings can be from one another. "In very broad terms, Jacques is a little more shy and a little quieter, but he can also come up with some very funny things," Prince Albert says. "He's a great observer and loves to size up the situation. Then he'll go for it." Meanwhile, Princess Gabriella is "a little more outgoing, and she definitely has the gift of gab." "She's just a character who loves to dance and to sing," Albert continues. "She has no qualms about being in front of people."

"We're not going to do a whole drilling process of explaining to them step-by-step what's expected from them." He continues, "We don't want to put them into the spotlight too much. It's a case-by-case opportunity for now, so it remains special for them."
