The lady was stuck in South Africa for months. Now she is looking forward to flying again and to her family in Monaco.
Johannesburg – Princess Charlène of Monaco, who was trapped in South Africa for months after health problems and a complicated operation, will soon be able to return to her family.
“She will return in the next two weeks,” said the spokeswoman for her foundation, Chantell Wittstock, on Wednesday of the German Press Agency in Johannesburg and emphasized: “She is recovering and has been declared fit for flying again”. The princess had previously indicated that she would travel back to Monaco at the end of October. She had only had a four-hour operation under general anesthesia earlier this month.
At the beginning of the year she traveled to the country on the southern tip of Africa to support the fight against rhino poaching. She had reported to local media that an oral surgery performed before her trip had delayed her return. When flying at high altitudes, she cannot compensate for the pressure in the ears.
The Princess’s long-term stay in South Africa had fueled speculation on social media about a possible separation from Prince Albert II and a possible return of the Princess to her old home. Charlène (43), on the other hand, repeatedly protested in interviews how much she missed her husband and, above all, the children. Her husband had visited her with the two twins Gabriella and Jacques in South Africa. She had met Albert, 20 years her senior, in a swimming competition in 2000 – after she had previously competed for the South African national team at the Olympic Games. dpa
