Princess Charlene of Monaco visits nursing home

______________________________

Princess Charlene continues to delight with regular public appearances. This time, she visited the A Qietüdine pension for the elderly, located near the central harbour. This visit is not the first for Charlene – she tries to visit pensioners of Monaco as often as possible. During the meeting, she warmly communicated with the residents of the boarding house and presented them with photographs of the royal family, as well as fruits and vegetables grown in the royal estate. In turn, they presented the princess with a bouquet of flowers, and it was handed over by the oldest guest, who recently turned 100 years old.

To match the hot summer, Charlene, without changing herself, chose a stylish bright yellow perforated dress from the Swiss brand Akris, and complemented the look with pearl jewelry. Throughout the visit, Charlene did not take off her medical mask – now the elderly are most susceptible to viruses, and the princess, having recovered from COVID-19 in early June, decided to take care of her subjects.

Recall that a week earlier, Charlene and her husband, Prince Albert II, attended the 73rd Red Cross Gala in Monte Carlo, and before that they appeared in public when awarding their 7-year-old twins Jacques and Gabriella at the Seadventures summer camp.

Note that Charlene returned to her royal duties relatively recently after a serious illness. Since April of this year, she began to attend public events, but the health of the princess is still a concern. Charlene left the country in February 2021 – she flew to South Africa, where she visited several nurseries and talked with wildlife advocates. But when the mission was completed, Her Ladyship was unable to return home. As Charlene later said, all because of the consequences after suffering an ear infection. Doctors for a long time forbade her long flights because of the pressure in her ears. Since then, Charlene has missed several important events, including the 10th wedding anniversary with the prince, as well as the opening of the Olympics in Japan. However, her husband and children visited the princess twice in South Africa. In November 2021, Charlene finally returned to Monaco, but a few days later she left the principality again. When asked by journalists, Albert II explained that his wife was “in a secret place” where she would “rest” and recover “from fatigue, including physical fatigue.”

According to a number of European media reports, which have not been refuted by officials, Princess Charlene received treatment at the Paracelsus Recovery, a closed institution located on the lake in Zurich. They provide anonymous and confidential treatment for drug, alcohol and other addictions caused by, for example, medications, eating disorders, and mental disorders.
