IMO this is a typical PR photo - set in an official part of the palace not to reveal much. The public needed a photo of two happy kids and a cake and baloons and all other stereotypes - so this is what they got.

They are cute kids but all I see is a boy in silk pj's and it's a little too Playboy Mansion like for me. I'm only speaking in terms of the image not any shenanigans.
What child has birthday cake while they are still in their pyjamas? The Monaco royals have no values. Do you see them eating cake? I don't. We should worry about our own values. |

It probably was a PR set up and the actual party with friends is somewhere else. I don’t see anything wrong with the photo or the reasons for it.
Plus I’m all for anyone in their PJs all day on their birthday.
I’m probably a bad parent, but when my daughter had her 7th birthday party, all the little kids decided it would be great to strip to their underwear. About 5 or 6 kids. They ran around the house and had the entire party in their panties, and at cake that way, opened presents, hit the piñata, and thought themselves hilarious. It was a sleepover. There are no pictures. I went along with it.

Wasn’t their birthday a Friday- if so wouldn’t they be in school for most the day? So a photo early morning when little kids would be excitedly opening presents etc would be only option before they came back from school. Seems more about having a photo earlier in the day than worrying they are in PJs, probably taken by a family member/close friend to be honest. Fair enough IMO

 TBH, this photo makes me sad - it looks like they're alone on a tiny "island" in the middle of a grand, very cold, impersonal space, with 2 slices of cake on a tray that a servant brought them  I really hope they actually had a much nicer, cosier celebration than what this photo shows... |

I think that was just the official photo release without revealing much and I am sure they did have a nice party. Due to the current circumstances they receive a lot more attention than the normal royal kids their age. Al is kind of forced to release pictures stating "nothing to see here, the kids are okay, please keep walking". IMO that he does that without revealing much of their personal environment shows that he has understood the responsibility.
