Monaco Palace Reveals Princess Charlene’s Recovery is ‘Encouraging’
Fans of the Monaco monarchy may recall that Princess Charlene has been under the care of a Swiss clinic since November 2021. In early November, suffering from “emotional and physical” exhaustion, Charlene voluntarily admitted herself for treatment at a professional facility outside of Monaco.
After four months in the treatment facility, she made what palace communication deemed an “encouraging recovery.” Charlene’s husband, Prince Albert of Monaco explained to People that the choice of using a clinic outside of Monaco was her personal choice.
Choosing a clinic “elsewhere in Europe” was a solution that the princess had already formed an opinion about and, the prince said in November, “we only wanted her to confirm it in front of us.” He added that she already knew the best thing to do was to get rest and “medically framed treatment.”

The statement reiterated that the princess looks forward to spending time and socializing with her fellow “Monegasques.” The statement concluded that the princess “still needs peace and calm” before requesting that her privacy continue to be respected.
Charlene’s Harrowing Journey Began as a 10-Day Trip and Morphed to 6 Months
