Princess Charlene has returned to Monaco.
The Princess of Monaco reunited with her family in the principality earlier this week after undergoing treatment for an undisclosed illness for several months outside of Monaco.
The Princely Palace released a statement on 12 March, saying: “In agreement with her doctors and while her recovery is on the right track, their Serene Highnesses have agreed together that Princess Charlene can now continue her convalescence in the Principality with her husband and her children by her side.”
According to the Palace, she will need a few more weeks to continue her recovery before she can “gradually resume her official activities.”
They concluded their message by requesting continued privacy for the family and said that Charlene “still needs peace and calm, The Princely Couple, therefore, asks that their private life and family environment continue to be respected.”
Her return to Monaco comes three weeks after her husband, Prince Albert, revealed that Charlene was “doing much better.”
The Princely Palace said in January, just after Princess Charlene’s 44th birthday, that the “convalescence of H.S.H. Princess Charlene is currently continuing in a satisfying and very encouraging way.”
Princess Charlene was grounded in South Africa last year for several months after a quick trip to her home country for conservation led to a months-long stay due to a severe ear, nose and throat infection that prevented her from flying. She returned to Monaco in November, but it was soon apparent that she was not well. She left for treatment of an unknown illness at an undisclosed location outside Monaco a few days later.
Prince Albert and the couple’s seven-year-old twins, Princess Gabriella and Hereditary Prince Jacques, visited Charlene in her treatment facility around Christmas. However, Charlene is believed to have spent her birthday in January alone as she recovered from her mystery illness.
