November 8, 2021. After a long convalescence in South Africa, the Princess Charlene of Monaco makes its long-awaited return to the Principality. She had been isolated from her family for eight months, in a very worrying state of health: victim of a serious ENT infection, weakened, emaciated, Charlene even came close to death. On his return to Monaco, we finally think of recovery. Or, after just a few days, she leaves her family again to isolate herself in a nursing home in Switzerland. What is going on ?
Since last April, Charlene has finally returned to Monaco and she once again assumes her role as princess alongside her husband. Despite everything, it is rumored that the princess would only have agreed to reappear in exchange for a major financial arrangement. Charlene Did she really come back of her own free will?
From now on, the spouses are the target of all the rumours: some see in these health concerns an excuse to hide a crisis of couple. Remember in 2020, Charlene had previously garnered attention by shaving off part of his hair – a daring cut that had been seen as a mark of rebellion against protocol. So, after 10 years of marriage, would the princely couple be close to breaking up?
