Princess Charlene returns to Monaco

Princess Charlene of Monaco has been stuck in South Africa for several months due to health issues after a complex surgery. Now she is back with her family.

“She arrived in Monaco this morning, thank God she’s back home,” her father, Mike Wittstock, told dpa in Johannesburg on Monday. She was picked up by a private jet in the coastal city of Durban.

Princess Charlene originally traveled to South Africa to support the fight against rhino poaching. She had visited a nature reserve where rhino guards to protect them from poachers.

A little later, local media reported that the oral surgery performed before her flight had delayed her return. When flying at great heights, it cannot compensate for the pressure in the ears.

The princess’s long stay in South Africa has sparked speculation on social media about a possible separation from Prince Albert II and the princess’s possible return to her old home. On the other hand, Charlene (43) has repeatedly protested in interviews about how much she misses her husband, and above all children.
