In March, the 44-year-old Princess returned to Monaco and resumed her royal duties. “When I returned to the Principality, I focused all my energy on my children, my husband and my health because they are my priority. My state of health is still fragile and I don’t want to go too fast. The road has been long, difficult and so painful. Today I feel calmer,” she said of to the magazine Nice-Matin. “I am very happy to be back home in Monaco and with my family.”

Following her Covid diagnosis, the Palace shared that there were no concerns regarding her health and that she would isolate herself according to protocol.
