Monte Carlo’s annual gala aims to gather some of the world’s biggest stars to raise awareness of global initiatives in aid of planetary health, but has been drastically scaled back this year in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic  

Hosted by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, the annual event gathers leading philanthropists, talents and scientists to join forces and launch the charity’s initiatives to bridge the widening gap between health and the environment. 

The 2020 Monte-Carlo Gala for Planetary Health aims to highlight the idea that our future is dependent on healthy ecosystems.

Hosted by the Prince’s foundation, it has gathered talents, philanthropists, decision makers and scientists to discuss the challenges the planet’s environment faces. 

The night is usually auction filled with many collectables, memorabilia and fine art from some of the most high-profile artists across the globe going on sale.

Proceeds will be used to help the Foundation’s initiatives, which includes the development of marine protected areas, protection of threatened marine species, the mitigation of the impact of climate change and acidification on the ocean, as well as the fight against plastic pollution.

However it’s likely this year’s event has seen drastic changes to ensure social distancing can be adhered to, with many stars also donning masks as they arrived on the blue carpet. 

The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation was set up in 2006 with the aim to protect the environment and promote sustainable development at a local and global scale.

It has 10 international branches across the globe, including in France, America, the UK, Switzerland, Canada, Germany, Italy, Singapore, Spain and China.  

In July Leona revealed that she was already writing Christmas songs to try and keep her mind off the coronavirus pandemic.

The singer released a cover of Robbie Williams’ Angels in tribute to the NHS and told how looking forward to the Yuletide season is helping her get through lockdown. 

Speaking to Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield on This Morning, she said: ‘I’m already writing Christmas songs. It makes me happy to look forward to Christmas now, especially with everything going on.’
