Princess Charlene of Monaco has been absent from her royal duties for the past year due to a series of health concerns; having returned to public life on April 30, 2022, the princess gave an interview to Nice Matin on May 25 to discuss her recent experiences.

The princess was forced to spend eight months in South Africa, where she was traveling, due to an ear, nose, and throat infection. There, she underwent two operations under general anesthesia and was allowed to return to Monaco in November. Unfortunately, he then had to undergo further treatment for fatigue in Switzerland, and only returned to Monaco briefly in mid-March.

During her stay, rumors about the private life of the princess and her husband Albert II abounded. Asked about these in ambiguous terms, Charlene replied (according to one translation, which you have corrected for grammar and clarity), "Are you talking about divorce rumors or my new home in Switzerland ......" I replied simply. I find it unfortunate that certain media outlets spread such rumors about my life and relationships. Like everyone else, we are human and have feelings and weaknesses just like any other human being.

The royal also mentioned how he feels now that he has returned home. 'When I returned to the Principality, I put all my energy into my children, my husband, and my own health. This road was long, difficult, and very painful. Today I am calm.

Charlene also spoke about her daughter Gabriella, who attended Monte Carlo Fashion Week with her, and discussed the relationship between children and fashion. She said, "Gabriella, like most girls her age, loves princess dresses, getting her hair done, and even trying on my lipstick." Gabriella has her own style and I like to encourage that individuality."

Charlene recently shared a sweet photo of her and the 7-year-old on Instagram, saying, "Every moment was fun as we prepared for the Princess' first official event. Looking forward to a great night at the Fashion Awards."
