PHOTOS Monaco National Day: Albert without Charlene, he can count on the support of Caroline and Stéphanie
This November 19 begins the festivities for the Monegasque National Day. All the main family is reunited or almost. Princess Charlene is the big absent from this ceremony which she still had to attend.
Uniforms are the order of the day and chic outfits for going out on the Rock. This Friday, November 19, Prince Albert and all members of the Grimaldi clan are reunited for the national holiday. A date carefully ticked off on the calendars of the palace and the Monegasques. This year, the date had a more special meaning than the previous ones. Princess Charlene, stuck for long months in South Africa for health reasons – among others – made its comeback a few days ago. Prince Albert had said that his wife, with whom he has just presented his 10 years of marriage, would be back for this symbolic day in Monaco.
The promise is half kept because if Charlene has set foot on the Rock, the princess is not present alongside her husband for the national holiday. On November 16, when everything seemed to be back to normal, a press release from the Palace affirmed that Gabriella and Jacques’ mother would not be present: “ Their serene Highnesses agreed together that a period of calm and rest was necessary for the good recovery of the health of Princess Charlene. It was written.
