Charlene to returned to Monaco in November after spending several months “grounded” in Africa due to a severe ear, nose and throat infection that she contracted in May 2021. Less than two weeks after his wife’s return, Albert told  PEOPLE  that Charlene was receiving treatment in a facility “outside of Monaco.”

At the time, the Prince revealed to the magazine that Charlene “was clearly exhausted, physically and emotionally. She was overwhelmed and couldn’t face official duties, life in general or even family life.”

Last month, the Palais Princier shared that Charlene’s convalescence was “progressing in a satisfactory and very encouraging way.” However, the palace noted that the Princess’ recovery as well as the follow-up of her dental care would still “take several weeks.”
