Charlene of Monaco’s year 2021 will have been very complicated from a health point of view. The mother of Gabriella and Jacques was deprived of her husband Prince Albert and their two children for many months. No one believed in her return to the Rock anymore, but what was the joy of the Monegasques to learn, a few weeks ago, that their favorite princess had indeed returned to the palace! They were only waiting for one thing: Charlene’s first public appearance in almost a year. If they still haven’t been entitled to it, things may well be about to change.
The Histoires royales site reveals that if Princess Charlene is still recovering and is still protecting herself from official events, it is only to return to the front of the stage as quickly as possible. As a seasoned sportswoman, the 44-year-old ex-swimmer sees the events she wants to take part in fast approaching. Among them, the 10th edition of the Sainte-Dévote tournament – a rugby competition with which the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation is collaborating -, expected in a few days and the Riviera Water Bike Challenge, a water bike race linking Monaco to Calvi in Corsica, June 5th. To be in top form and to be able to honor these two appointments that are close to her heart, Princess Charlene is putting all the chances on her side.
It is worried but above all impatient that the Rock is waiting to see the South African again in public for the first time. In the spring of 2021, a press release from the palace revealed the health problems encountered by the former swimming champion. While traveling in South Africa, Princess Charlene had contracted a serious ENT infection preventing her from flying again and forcing her to receive treatment on the spot. Some did not believe it, favoring the thesis of an imminent divorce between the spouses.
Operated several times, she had finally won a convalescent home in Switzerland to end this too long stay spent far from her family. It is no longer alone but with her husband and their children that Charlène can finally recharge the batteries. The love of the family, what better way to restore energy?
