Prince Albert of Monaco's wedding gift to Charles and Alexandra Leclerc revealed

Charles Leclerc and his wife Alexandra have shared their wedding gift from Prince Albert of Monaco after the couple tied the knot ahead of the 2026 Formula 1 season.

The Leclercs got married in a small, private civil ceremony in Monaco before a larger celebration with their extended friends and family next year. While they initially kept the ceremony quiet, news quickly spread of their milestone moment when they were seen driving through Monaco in a stunning 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa.

Prince Albert of Monaco presented the Ferrari F1 driver with a bespoke scale model of a classic Ferrari with what looks to be a dog wearing a baby blue scarf, a nod to Leclerc's signature colour, in a display case during the Goodwill Ambassador Award Gala.

Fans were quick to draw comparisons to Alexandra's Stuart Little reference after the pair wed as she shared a screenshot of the popular children's character driving Margalo the canary in the famous little red roadster.

Leclerc described it as "one of those days that I'll forever remember. And same for Alex, and the same for our family," when speaking to F1.com ahead of the season-opening Australian Grand Prix.

"It was family only, and it was very small and secret in a way, which we really enjoyed," he added. "We'll do another one with all of our closest friends in actually quite a bit of time," he said, explaining it will "take some time to organize 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."
