Charlene reposted the video on her respective account adding “❤️.”
The Princess was grounded in Africa for several months last year after contracting a severe ear, nose and throat infection in May 2021. Prince Albert told People magazine in November that his wife, who finally returned home that month, was receiving treatment in a facility “outside of Monaco.”
Ahead of the holidays, the palace shared an update on the royal’s health revealing that the “convalescence of H.S.H. Princess Charlene continues encouragingly.” “H.S.H. Princess Charlene is recuperating in a satisfactory and reassuring manner,” the palace said in a statement, adding, “Although it may take a few more months before her health has reached a full recovery.”
