An evening of grandeur awaits. On April 26, 2025, the Grand Ball of Princes and Princesses—one of Monaco’s most prestigious events—crosses the Channel for a special “Monaco Meets London” edition at The Dorchester. Steeped in old-world elegance, this lavish affair will bring together royals, aristocrats, and the international elite for a night of opulence and glamour.
The Grand Ball of Princes and Princesses is a journey into the fantasy of princely life. From the moment guests step inside The Dorchester’s gilded halls, they’ll be transported to a world of glittering chandeliers, sweeping ball gowns, and regal sophistication.
The evening unfolds with a VIP welcome cocktail, setting the tone for an unparalleled spectacle of live music, dance, and breathtaking performances. The Gala Dinner Show, curated with an extravagant lineup of international artists, builds into a crescendo of opera singers, ballet étoiles, and orchestral grandeur, leading into the grand opening of the Ball itself.
As midnight approaches, the celebration shifts into a modern royal affair, with the resident DJ of Buddha Bar Monte-Carlo spinning late into the night at an exclusive after-party.
Beyond its spectacle, the Grand Ball of Princes and Princesses serves a higher purpose. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Princess Grace Foundation, continuing Monaco’s legacy of philanthropy by supporting the arts and humanitarian causes.
The Dorchester itself is an icon of British luxury. The hotel has long been a meeting place for royalty, dignitaries, and cultural legends. Queen Elizabeth II herself spent the night there before the announcement of her engagement in 1947—a fitting prelude to an event celebrating love, legacy, and elegance.
