marital problems
Charlène has been back home in Monaco since March. The princess was in her native South Africa for a short visit, but was forced to stay longer because she had an infection in her throat, nose and ears and had to undergo several operations. When she returned home, she was overtired and left for a clinic.
It was whispered that it was not her health, but marital problems, that were the cause of Charlène’s absence. This to the great irritation of the princess, who is happy with how her husband has dealt with the gossip. “Like everyone else, we have emotions and vulnerabilities, but because of the extensive media attention for our family, every form of weakness is widely reported,” she told the French newspaper earlier this year.
