Princess Charlene and Prince Albert celebrate milestone with ‘thank you’ card to fans | Royal | News

The couple have had a rough time of late with Charlene living in South Africa and Switzerland for most of 2021 after her struggle with an unknown illness. Due to her absence, many suspected that the couple would file for divorce and so many royal fans were overjoyed at the news of their wedding anniversary.

The couple was inundated with messages from benefactors and the royal family repaid in kind by sending thank you cards in response.

An Instagram account called TheDuchessOfWonderland posted a post sharing the beautiful card, which was written by Christine Sprile, the couple’s head of private secretariat.

It read: “TT. SS. HH Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene have asked me to thank you very much for your kind wishes on the occasion of their eleventh wedding anniversary.

“Your thoughtfulness is much appreciated by Their Serene Highness”.

The card was then signed by Ms Sprile and featured an up-to-date image of the couple in the palace.

Princess Charlene, 44, is pictured in a white dress with a gold statement necklace and a cropped bob haircut.

Prince Albert, 64, stood next to his wife with his arm around her waist in a suit with a light blue tie as they were depicted in front of the Monaco flag and royal coat of arms.

This year’s anniversary was a special milestone for the couple after being separated for two years on their anniversary due to Charlene’s serious ear, nose and throat infection in May 2021.

She added: “My health condition is still fragile and I don’t want to go too fast.”

For those who continue to question her commitment to her marriage, the princess said: “I am very happy to be back home in Monaco and with my family.

“They are my priority,” she said of her twins, Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques, both seven years old.

On her arrival in Monaco she said she had “focused everything” [her] energy” in Albert and the children.
