Following a new report in a French magazine about their relationship, Prince Albert and Princess Charlene of Monaco are setting the record straight.
Princess Charlene and Prince Albert of Monaco are not separating,
despite fresh rumors about their relationship.
On March 23, a
spokesperson for the Palace issued an official statement regarding the
couple, who have been married since 2011. "I would like to formally deny the
malicious rumors peddled by the French magazine Royauté," the statement
said, according to Hello! magazine. "Please disregard this article which is
totally unfounded."
The couple, parents of twins Princess Gabriella and Prince
Jacques, 8, have been the subject of breakup rumors since 2021, when
Charlene contracted an ear, nose and throat infection during wildlife
conservation mission in South Africa, where she was raised, and remained
there without her family for several months. She underwent several
procedures before returning to Monaco in November 2021, after which she
underwent further treatment at an undisclosed facility outside the
region.
At the time, Albert denied rumors of marital strife,
telling People, "I'm probably going to say this several times, but this has
nothing to do with our relationship. I want to make that very clear. These
are not problems within our relationship; not with the relationship between
a husband and wife."
In March 2022, Charlene again returned to Monaco and soon
resumed her royal duties, appearing with her family at events such as the
Monaco E-Prix.
"When I returned to the Principality, I focused all my energy on my
children, my husband and my health because they are my priority," she told
the Monaco-Matin newspaper in May 2022. "My state of health is still fragile
and I don't want to go too fast. The road has been long, difficult and so
painful. Today I feel calmer."
