Prince Albert of Monaco’s sisters Princess Caroline of Hanover and Princess Stephanie have rallied around to support his children Jacques and Gabriella in wife Princess Charlene’s absence – after admitting they had ‘suffered.’
Charlene (43), the wife of the royal, announced Friday that she has been admitted into a treatment facility’. She was admitted after becoming ‘evidently unwell’ in just hours following her return from South Africa.
Albert claimed earlier in the year his wife suffered from a sinus problem. However, he did not disclose details about her condition but said that he had eliminated cancer and Covid. She was suffering from exhaustion, and Albert hinted that she may be experiencing mental health problems.
Discussing the impact their mother’s absence has had on the children, the Monaco royal spoke to French news outlet Monaco Matin and admitted that they had ‘suffered’, but that They had “a loving family that was there for them”
But it seems like they’re being well-looked after by Prince Albert’s sisters Princess Caroline of Hanover, 63, and Princess Stephanie, 56, who were seen holding their hands during celebrations for Monaco National Day on Friday.

Recently, Princess Charlene (pictured October) seems to have become increasingly fragile. She currently receives treatment for “exhaustion both physical and emotional”.
Dressed in a sparkling tweed jacket, Princess Caroline of Hanover could be seen reaching out for Prince Jacques’ hand before turning her attention to something else.
Meanwhile Princess Stephanie, who looked chic in a smart grey coat, walked closely alongside Gabriella before clutching the youngster’s hands firmly in front of hers.
Prince Albert was seen on the Monaco Palace balcony with his kids, holding signs saying: “We miss you mommy.”
Speaking to Monaco Matin, Prince Albert said: ‘I cannot tell you more out of discretion. It is not only physical tiredness that can be dealt with, but also mental.
He continued: ‘For me, it’s pretty simple – my priority is my family. It’s an important moment in my life. [the children’s] life – the way they grow up helps them see the world.
The other parent should be available if the one or both parents are ill.
“I’ve heard from too many people and friends that they wish they could have been there to care for their kids at an age when they were not as busy with their careers or family life. I do not want to make these mistakes.

Prince Gabriella, a princess, sent a note to her mother via handwritten letter. She was unable attend Monaco Day.
Prince Albert spoke out to People magazine that his wife of 43 years, Princess Anne, was suffering from severe exhaustion, both physical and emotional. He said she will be requiring medical attention for several weeks after her return from South Africa, where she spent 10 months.
Charlene will be recuperating for some time, according to the palace. They released a statement Tuesday saying that Charlene is in the process of convalescing. This would allow her to rest from the effects of deep general fatigue.
In a statement the couple stated that they have decided to take a break from their hectic schedules and allow Princess Charlene to rest for the best possible recovery.
The Princess’ current location will be kept secret in order to preserve her privacy and comfort during recovery.
“When her health permits, Princess Looks Forward to Once Again Carrying Out Her Princely Duties and Spending Time with the Monegasques.
A mother of two shared an Instagram picture from her “secret location” where she’s recovering from a fatigue not only physical on Thursday.
Pictures from an Instagram photocall were used to reunite Princess Charlene with her family.
While persistent rumours persist about the marital state, Prince Albert (pictured in his November 8 reunion photograph with his wife), said that his issues with her are not connected to the marriage.
Princess Charlene, whose fragile appearance has raised concerns, shared controversial photos earlier in the year of her and her husband hugging in South Africa.
The family were all spotted together in South Africa at the start of June, and official photos of the family shared on social media in August showing another visit had taken place after three months apart.
Although rumors have swirled for years about their marital status, the prince said in an interview that it was not because of relationship problems.
He stated, “I am probably going to repeat this many times. But this does not have anything to do with our relationship.”
“It is very important that I make this clear.
“These problems are not within our relationship. They do not affect the marriage between husband and wife. It is of a completely different nature.
He said that her lack of appearance is not related to Covid or cancer.
However, the couple’s reunion photos were met with scepticism, with body language Judi James telling FEMAIL that Charlene was using exaggerated gestures of closeness with Albert and appeared ‘needy’ in the images – while Prince Albert did ‘not reflect’ his wife’s body language.
She added that in the family image, the princess was ‘clinging’ to her husband, saying: ‘Charlene’s announcement rituals here suggest she wants to send out a very emphatic message that she is now back with her family and that her love for her husband is stronger than ever.
“Charlene, just like Prince Albert in South Africa, performs over-kill signals in order to get her message across to the rest. She puts in more effort than her husband in order to appear excitedly reunified and joyful.
The reunion was also met with scepticism by the French media, with respected French celebrity outlet Gala publishing an article with the headline: ‘Reunion of Albert and Charlene of Monaco: but where exactly do they sleep?’
And Voici – another popular magazine read widely across Monaco and France – ran with: ‘Charlene of Monaco back: the Princess breaks the silence and forgets to mention her husband’.
Charlene made this reference by using social media videos to thank everyone for their help during her months of sickness.
Her foundation shared the video on Twitter after she returned from Monaco.
It was written by her: “It’s been, clearly, a very tough time being here, but it’s been fantastic being back in South Africa.
“I would like to express my gratitude to the South African doctors for their wonderful help. I look forward to seeing my kids again.
“Thanks South Africa and everyone else, God bless!”
The couple married in 2011, and Charlene was photographed crying.
Three times, she reportedly attempted to flee Monaco from her home in South Africa.
After discovering that Albert was the father of a child she loved, this was her reaction.
Albert was said not to have seen his son Alexandre Grimaldi Coste in the years after his wedding. Nicole Coste is a Togo-based former Air France flight attendant.
In 2014, Nicole told the Mail On Sunday: ‘The truth is that, I’m sorry to say, Albert hasn’t seen Alexandre since a brief visit last September.
It is now impossible because he got married to that girl.
“I wonder how a wife would feel as a newly married woman. However, she must think about her innocent child.
‘I don’t want to attack her but I think it is just jealousy and I don’t know why.
‘I have been through hell in my fight for my son’s name and future.’
Prince Albert has two children from his previous marriage, but he is also said to be supporting them. However, the father of one is an illegitimate child.
His lawyers rejected the claim as a hoax. This is especially painful because he was still dating Charlene, whom he had first met in 2000.
Charlene, however, has maintained her public support for her husband.
Former swimmer and representative of the country in the 2000 Sydney Olympics shared their thoughts on January.
Point de Vue was told by her: “When my husband is having problems, he tells you about it.”
“I tell him often, “No matter how, no matter the outcome, I am a thousand percent behind” “I’ll be there for you in all things, good and bad.
She also stated that she often told her husband, mother of two, she would ‘protect him’ as well as ‘always be beside his side’.
