Princess Charlène is being treated in a clinic! Your children remember their sick mom with a great gesture on the national holiday.
Today, November 19th, the national holiday is celebrated in the Principality of Monaco. And for the first time in their lives, the twins Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella (both 6) have to do without their mother, Princess Charlène (43). The 43-year-old left the principality just a few days after her return from South Africa to recover from a serious infectious disease.
As Prince Albert II also confirmed to the “People” magazine on Friday, his wife is in a clinic. They made this decision together. She suffers from exhaustion, both emotionally and physically, the prince said. Recovery would require at least several weeks of clinical care. After her return from South Africa, the first few hours went well, then it became obvious that she was not doing well.
“Several factors” responsible for the state of Charlène
Albert also once again rejected the rumors about alleged relationship problems that kept sprouting up. There is no marriage crisis. The condition of his wife is the result of “several factors that are a private matter”. Charlène is overwhelmed and currently cannot face official duties, life in general or family life.
Her two children, however, insisted on sending a message of greeting to their mother during a parade in the castle courtyard. On the palace balcony they held up self-painted posters on which “We love you, Mommy” (in German: “We love you, Mami”) and “We miss you, Mommy” (in German: “We miss you, Mami” ) was read. Her father was also seen on the gallery and waved to his people together with his children.
Princess Charlène still needs rest
Albert II confirmed on Thursday that his wife would not take part in the celebrations. You still need rest, he said in an interview with the newspaper “Monaco Matin”. In an official press release, the palace announced that that Charlène has left the principality and is in a place that should remain confidential. As soon as she felt better, she would resume her “princely duties” and “spend time with the Monegasque”.
The princess did not return to Monaco until the beginning of November after a stay of several months in South Africa. A few days’ visit to her native land was actually planned. After a severe ear, nose and throat infection, the doctors forbade her to travel by plane, which is why she had to cure herself on site and could not return to her family.
