A condition sine qua non ? Charlene of Monaco is back, or almost. On March 12, the 44-year-old princess announced “with joy” that she had left her Swiss clinic for Le Rocher. But it is at Roc Agel and not at the Palace that the South African would have put down her luggage. Apparently tired of the intrigues of alcoves, Charlène would have been firm on this point and, if one believes the French press, the word “divorce” would even have been slipped during his negotiations with Albert II.
Behind closed doors
“It’s the place where we close the door on the world.” It is in these terms that Grace Kelly spoke of Roc Angel, an opulent country house bought by the actress and Prince Rainier in 1957. The place, perched on the heights of Monaco, is as beautiful as it is unreachable, and represents a popular refuge for the Grimaldis every summer. Horses, red hens, sheep… Roc Agel looks like a chic ranch and the estate, well protected from prying eyes by an army of pines and elms, covers 56 hectares. There, Rainier III liked to wear the denim shirt and Grace forgot everything but her super-8 camera.
Since then, Albert II has reclaimed the place by emphasizing organic farming and Charlène would like to devote herself to cooking there. The princess had also spent part of the confinement there with her twins, Jacques and Gabriella, 7 years old. The ideal place to finally turn the page?
