Charles and Alexandra Leclerc handed unique wedding gift by Monaco prince
Prince Albert of Monaco has celebrated Charles and Alexandra Leclerc's wedding with thoughtful and special gift.
Ahead of the 2026 Formula One season, Ferrari star Leclerc and his wife Alexandra revealed that they had got married in a small, private civil ceremony in Monaco.
The pair have been together since early 2023 and announced their engagement nearly three years later in November 2025.
Although the couple initially decided to keep news of the ceremony private, they made the news public after they were spotted driving through the streets of Monaco in a vintage 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa.

Since then, celebrities both from Formula One and otherwise have congratulated the newly-weds on their big day, including Ferrari teammate Lewis Hamilton, who in doing so admitted that he hadn't yet bought them a gift.
But one man who has presented the couple with a special wedding gift is Prince Albert of Monaco, who handed over the present to Charles during the Goodwill Ambassador Award Gala on April 2.
The prince gave the Leclercs' a bespoke scale model of a classic Ferrari with a dog wearing a baby blue scarf, referencing Leclerc's signature colour.
Shortly after pictures of the gift went viral online, many fans were quick to point out that the prince may have been referencing Alexandra's reference to the Stuart Little films after photos of the couple driving the vintage Ferrari car emerged online
Alexandra had shared a screenshot of the popular mouse driving his love interest Margalo the canary in his famous little red car, tagging her husband.
Who was invited to Charles Leclerc's wedding?
Although Leclerc enjoys a close relationship with several drivers on the F1 grid, he decided against inviting any of his peers to his wedding ceremony in Monaco, as he explained they wanted to keep it private with only immediate family welcome.
When speaking to F1.com ahead of the season, he described his wedding as "one of those days that I'll forever remember. And same for Alex. And same for our family."
He added: "It was family only, and it was very small and secret in a way, which we really enjoyed."
But that doesn't mean that the Leclerc family won't have a party with their friends to celebrate the wedding, as Leclerc promised that he would be having another ceremony sometime in the future.
"We'll do another one with all of our closest friends in actually quite a bit of time," he said, admitted that it will "take some time to organise it properly."
He added: "It's been good. It [was] obviously an amazing day, and it took a lot of positivity on the flight because I went straight to fly to here in Melbourne. So still very happy and excited for the wedding and excited for starting the race tomorrow as well."
