On November 8, 2021, Charlene from Monaco finally returned to Monaco after six months in South Africa. The 43-year-old former swimming champion returned to her homeland for humanitarian action, helping to save rhinos, but was unable to return due to serious ENT problems. Affected by an infection which forced her to undergo several operations under general anesthesia, the wife of Prince Albert could no longer travel, a long absence of 6 months marked by several missed appointments as the celebration of her 10 years of marriage with Albert or the return of their twins Jacques and Gabriella, 6 years old, in first grade. The children would no longer be in their school today but would follow a home education according to recent information.
Three days after the return of Princess Charlene of Monaco, a member of her family had suggested that she would not live with Albert. This close friend is none other than Chantell Wittstock, sister-in-law of Charlene of Monaco, who is in charge of public relations for her foundation in South Africa. it’s not “still clear“, had informed the latter to DailyMail, as to whether Albert and Charlene of Monaco were living together again. “Princess Charlene of Monaco may not be living with her husband at the Prince’s Palace following his return home and has no plans to return to the field immediately for public events“, for his part advanced the DailyMail. The British taloïd had also added that the mother of Jacques and Gabriella lived “a modest two-bedroom apartment above an old chocolate factory, 300 meters from the palace“, and that it even occupied it before leaving for South Africa.
Finding herself embroiled in the rumor that her sister-in-law and her husband are not living under the same roof, Chantell Wittstock has spoken again, to set the record straight. Princess Charlene is “extremely happy to be back home with her family“ and “she will stay with her husband and their children“she told South African media News24, picked up by the DailyMail. A new intervention which should thus set things straight.
While Monaco’s national holiday will take place on November 19, the question now is whether Charlene of Monaco will participate. The princess did not follow her husband to Dubai for the World Expo. Prince Albert was accompanied by his sister Stéphanie of Monaco but also by his nephew Louis Ducruet, accompanied by his wife Marie, but also by his niece Camille Gottlieb.
