Absences, hospitalizations, illegitimate children … A look back at the year 2021 for the Monaco family
This year will definitely not have been the easiest for the Monegasque sovereigns. Last January, Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene of Monaco were filled with optimism in their wishes for the New Year, after a period of health crisis that had brought the world to a halt. But they had no idea that 2021 would also have many events in store for them. Last May, while leaving on an official trip to South Africa to promote the protection of endangered species, Charlene of Monaco suffered from an infection in the ENT area. An illness that will require several hospitalizations and operations, as well as a long period of convalescence. A very long absence which gave rise to many rumors about the princely couple.
During this time, in Monaco, we had witnessed on social networks the touching reunion of Jazmin Grace Grimaldi and her half-brother Alexandre Grimaldi-Coste. The two eldest of Prince Albert had been able to celebrate the 18 years of the son of the sovereign and Nicole Coste, this summer, together on the Rock. A beautiful moment which had quickly given way to another scandal. Nicole Coste, the mother of the young man and ex-companion of the prince, had decided to speak in the columns of “Paris Match”. If she had mentioned the beautiful relationship between Albert II and his son, she had also made revelations on the shocks on the treatment by Charlene of Monaco to her son. The latter would have been assigned a room in the employee wing in the absence of his father at the palace.
