Princess Charlene is "extremely happy to be back home with her family" following her return to Monaco earlier this week.
There have been reports that the royal, 43, may move into a two-bedroom above an old chocolate factory instead of the Prince's Palace. However Charlene's sister-in-law, Chantell Wittstock, has refuted these claims.
Speaking to South Africa's Channel24, the charity director, who is married to the princess' brother, Sean Wittstock, said: "The princess is extremely happy to be back home with her family," before reiterating: "She will be staying with her husband and children."
