Nine months after his return to the Principality and after almost a year away from home due to serious health problems, Charlene breaks her silence and gives one of her very rare interviews. to tell how things really were, and finally put an end to the gossip that had been circulating about him lately. Alleged marital crisis with Prince Albert, rumors of a multi-million dollar agreement to stay in the palace to avoid divorce and subsequent scandal, custody of twins Jacques and Gabriella, separation holidays, difficult relationship with her sister-in-law Caroline, jealousy of the ex-Prince Nicole Costa. They are all puzzle pieces that describe the deep discomfort experienced at court well, but do not fit well with what the princess reported. monk matins and with his latest appearances.
Since April, the former swimming champion has gradually returned to her duties.first posing for a traditional Easter card with her husband and kids, then gradually taking part in a succession of meetings, until recently participating in Paris Fashion Week and the Princess Grace Foundation charity gala in New York, where she showed off an incredible pink diamond. On these occasions, Charlene seemed much more relaxed and serene., after a difficult month of illness and recovery. “Today I feel much better than in recent years. I feel less pain and much more energy. I continue to recover, restore balance. It will still take time but I’m happyA statement bordering on sensational for the typical sad princess who rarely shows an open and cheerful smile in photographs in favor of an expression veiled in melancholy.
Perhaps thanks to her new commitment that Alberto made especially for her: a recent appointment as President of the Société Protectrice des Animaux in Monaco. A role that is perfect for her shy nature around people yet very sympathetic to her four-legged friends, as evidenced by her fondness for her two dogs Harley and Tia. However, the reason for the interview is related to the tenth anniversary of the Princess Charlene Foundation., launched in 2012 with the precise aim of stopping drowning children around the world through programs that teach children to swim and tame the water, from the Mediterranean coast to the coast of Africa and Asia. An almost marginal issue ten years ago, and now – also thanks to the commitment of the princess – one of the priorities of the UN, which prompts many organizations to act to stop this silent slaughter.
But this is not the only reason for Charlene’s pride, who, after a nearly year-long absence from South Africa, found two older and increasingly close-knit children who enthusiastically took part in all the official events of the Principality, including the long-awaited “Prince’s Day”, also known as the National day of the Principality of Monaco, celebrated every year on November 19th. “Jacques was happy to wear the same uniform as his father. And Gabriella was very proud to wear her medal,” her mother said. Before adding, “Our children were very excited to take part in this National Day and we were very proud to see them grow up.” Of course, Alberto’s wife emphasizes, “they are still children, but they are beginning to understand their roles. With my husband, when we need to go to an event, we explain to them what the essence of this event, this ceremony is. They love to accompany us, and the four of us and the Prince enjoy doing these missions together.”
“The family unit is fundamental to us,” Wittstock emphasizes. “These are two children who speak their own language and understand each other. say, and I see this feature that the twins share.” And to those who ask her about her future at court, Charlene replies without hesitation: “My family and those I love are my support. I look to the future step by step, day by day.”
