According to Paris Match magazine, it "wasn't easy" for Charlene and her children to find some fresh air amid the construction work at the Palace. As renovations are also said to be taking place at the couple's countryside residence Roc Angel, where Charlene stayed during the months after she gave birth, the royals decided to look for accommodation elsewhere.The source also said that Jacques and Gabriella have coped well with the move, saying: "The babies are fine, healthy and almost sleeping through the whole night."
