President Obama & Ambassador Doyle

Maguy Maccario Doyle is the Principality’s new emissary to Washington DC following her appointment by His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco. The Ambassador conveyed Prince Albert’s assurances of his highest consideration to President Barack Obama and his family, as she officially tendered her letter of credence to the President in a ceremony at the White House last month.

In congratulating Ambassador Maccario Doyle on her appointment and welcoming her family, President Obama outlined the importance of the two-country alliance built upon personal ties, shared values, and mutual cooperation.  The President acknowledged Prince Albert’s commitment to the protection of the environment and the important work of the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation. He also cited the Ambassador’s distinguished record of philanthropy and cultural outreach, stating it would ensure the relationship between Monaco and the United States would continue to flourish in the years to come.

Ambassador Maccario Doyle, the first woman to hold the post at the Embassy which opened in 2006, has served as Consul General of Monaco in New York since 1997 and head of the Principality’s Tourism Board in North America since the early 1990s. As a founding member of the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation-USA, she currently serves as its Vice President.

“It is a tremendous honor for me to represent His Serene Highness, the Princely family and the Principality of Monaco. I’m deeply grateful to Prince Albert for his nomination. As great friends and staunch allies, Monaco and the United States will continue to forge lasting links with a sense of mutual respect and esteem,” said Ambassador Maccario Doyle.
