After a month-long stay in a special clinic due to mental and physical exhaustion, Princess Charlene seems to be back in royal service. On Saturday, the 44-year-old surprised again at an official appointment with her appearance alongside her husband Prince Albert (64) and the twins Jacques and Gabriella (7). The royal family visited the FIA Formula E World Championship in Monaco.
But is Charlène really ready to return to the public? If you look at the photos of the sporting event, he probably doesn’t. The princess, who came in a gray suit and a new platinum-blonde short haircut, seemed impassive and distant, her posture and facial expressions quite passive, her gaze empty and tormented. Charlène looked thoughtful in many of the recordings, only rarely did she escape a timid smile.
The past year does not seem to have left the mother of two without a trace. She was separated from her family for most of 2021 and under medical treatment. A serious ear, nose and throat infection forced her to stay in South Africa for months. She only returned to Monaco at the end of the year, but only for a short period of time.
From November she was treated for 117 days in a Swiss specialist clinic. The reason: “physical and emotional exhaustion”, as Prince Albert explained in an interview. Charlène has been back home since March 2022, according to «Colorful» However, her therapy should continue for several months. It remains to be seen whether Charlène will make more public appearances for the Monegasque principality again in the future.
