The Prince spoke to\u00a0People<\/em> magazine in an article published on November 19, Prince’s Day.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Since her prolonged stay in South Africa because of her multiple operations<\/a>, the Princess and her husband have been the subjects of speculation in the foreign press.<\/p>\n\n

Having returned to Monaco on November 8<\/a>, the Princess left the Prince’s Palace shortly afterwards for a confidential location. The Prince wanted to respond through People<\/em> magazine: \u201cShe already knew the best thing to do was to go and have a rest and have a real medically framed treatment.(\u2026) She realized herself that she needed help.\u00a0(\u2026) For privacy reasons, it would have to be someplace outside of Monaco.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n\n

The Sovereign was also keen to quash the rumours about his marriage: \u201cI’m probably going to say this several times, but this has nothing to do with our relationship. I want to make that very clear. These are not problems within our relationship. \u00bb <\/p>\n\n

“I beg everyone to leave my family alone for the coming weeks.”<\/h2>\n\n

Prince Albert also clarified that the Princess did not have Covid-19 and that her absence was not linked to cancer or to cosmetic surgery: \u201cObviously there were consequences of her different surgeries and the procedures she underwent in the last few months. “That certainly was a factor, but at this point I prefer not to comment further. I can say she was suffering incredible fatigue. She hadn’t slept well in a number of days and she wasn’t eating at all well. She has lost a lot of weight, which made her vulnerable to other potential ailments.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n\n

The interview ended with a new appeal to respect the Princely Couple’s privacy: \u201cCharlene never asked to have these problems \u2014 but they are there, unfortunately, and we need space and privacy to address them. So I beg everyone to understand that and please leave my family alone for the coming weeks.”<\/p>\n\n

Absent for Prince’s Day on November 19<\/a>, the Princess was still honoured by her children during the traditional greeting from the balcony of the Palace. Hereditary Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella held up drawings which read: \u201cWe miss you mommy, we love you.<\/em>”\u00a0Prince Albert II also put his hand on his heart, in tribute to his wife.<\/p>\n\n
