On the evening of May 24, 2022, Her Serene Highness Princess Charlene of Monaco accompanied by her daughter, Her Serene Highness Princess Gabriella of Monaco attended the 2022 Monte-Carlo Fashion Week Awards ceremony held at the Opéra de Monte-Carlo.

In an interview with Monaco Matin, published on Wednesday, Princess Charlene said:

“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 health is still fragile and I don’t want to rush things. It’s been a long, difficult, painful path. Today, I feel more serene.”

When asked about the vicious rumors regarding Princess Charlene’s long absence from her family and the Principality she noted that it was “regrettable.” The princess went on to stress that her husband, HSH Prince Albert II, was very supportive; moreover, the princely couple “…discussed those malicious articles together and he did everything to protect me and our children.”

Princess Charlene also confirmed to the newspaper that she will attend the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend alongside her family. She also noted that her son, His Serene Highness Hereditary Prince Jacques, will for the first time participate in the Lap of Honor with His Serene Highness Prince Albert II.
