Charlene and Albert with their two children
Charlene is making a welcome return to the spotlight after spending much of 2021 in South Africa due to an illness. It meant she also had to be apart from her family, husband Prince Albert and twins Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques, for months at a time.
She returned to Monaco on 8 November 2021 – but a few weeks later, the palace announced that Charlene would be resting and that she had cancelled all her activities, including those of Monaco's national celebrations, owing to ill-health, especially "deep fatigue".
The couple have been married since July 2011
After a four-month stay at a Swiss clinic, the palace stated in March 2022 that Charlene was back in Monaco with her family and was expected to start her duties gradually as her health further improved.
Though Charlene hasn't shared many details of her illness and surgeries publicly, she did open up about missing her family. "It's been a trying time for me. I miss my husband and children dearly," she previously told South African News Channel24.
"Albert is my rock and strength and without his love and support I would not have been able to get through this painful time."
