Princess Charlène, a leather rebel who takes a firm step forward

 

After three weeks missing, Prince Albert's wife has intensely resumed her agenda and has been seen with the most striking outfits

In the parade of stars that have passed through the royal box at Wimbledon in recent days, the presence of Prince Albert of Monaco without his wife, Princess Charlène, drew attention. Beside him, the 65-year-old royal had his cousin Melanie-Antoinette de Massy, with whom he enjoyed the match between Ons Jabeur and Elena Rybakina on Center Court while chatting with tournament president Ian Hewitt.

 The South African had also not previously attended a screening of a film about Prince Rainier at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco, raising concerns about a prolonged absence that had lasted weeks.

 Alberto participated in that event with Princess Stephanie of Monaco, who was accompanied by his son Louis Ducruet, his wife Marie, and his daughter Camille Gottlieb. Princess Carolina was also seen there, along with her eldest son, Andrea Casiraghi, and his wife, Tatiana Santo Domingo, and her daughter Princess Alexandra of Hannover accompanied by her partner, Ben Sylvester Strautmann. Charlène's last public act was her appearance at the Ninfas de Oro Awards on June 20.

The former Olympic swimmer, who even kept silent on social networks when the couple celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary on July 1, finally returned as if nothing had happened, accompanied by her husband and her brother Gareth, while participating in a solidarity event held at the Royal Monegasque Palace and promoted by her own foundation, in which they received a representation of the Courchevel ski club.

Since then, Charlène seems to have gained momentum to resume her schedule with force and we have seen her take part with her husband in the traditional candlelight dinner organized by the Monaco City Hall or, in white and with lots of diamonds, in an event organized by the Mandela Foundation, in collaboration with the Prince Albert II Foundation and the Anant & Vanashree Singh Foundation. It is true that in all the images that have come out of these occasions, the princess appears with a most serious rictus, without giving a smile.

But where the South African has undoubtedly attracted the most attention has been at the gala banquet in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Club Allemand International de Monaco that took place at the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo. It was the German ambassador in France, Hans-Dieter Lucas, who shared some photos of the Monegasque royal couple where Charlène's impressive black leather look stood out.
