The twins are so cute - and it is great that they have each other. I hope they will stay that close throughout life.

I wonder what was wrong with her because the difference is truly striking. She looks so much better now and both children much more relaxed too.

It's truly so good to see. I was worried she might just disappear this time a year ago (maybe not a divorce but leave public life altogether). So happy for her, the kids, and Albert that she seems to be doing so well.

Such a world of difference. My heart really goes out to her. I'm glad she seems to have found some peace and happiness.

I leaning towards a mental breakdown, maybe some substance addictions and she got help, in therapy, on meds and has come out stronger.   She certainly looks healthy, happy and stepping up her duty.  The children look happy and so affectionate, that can't be faked by kids so young.  It's good to see, I'm partial to these cuties and thrilled they are thriving and have both parents in their lives.   

I read she spent almost a million bucks on clothes last year!  you go gurl  spend al's $$ as fast as you can.  I'm sure he's no dream to live with and you never know when another secret child will come out of the woodwork.

love this outfit with the leather skirt and gray jacket. To me it is the epitome of Charlene's understated chic.

[Miss Marple]

She was in a very bad mental place - it is amazing how she could be helped which is great - for herself and Al, but especially for the children. She even seems to enjoy her role now.

February 9
Albert and Charlene participated in the preparations for the 8MarsMonaco
March 8, International Women's Day: Monaco is committed to women around the world.

The Department of International Cooperation supports many projects to "achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls", Sustainable Development Goal No. 5 of the United Nations.

The Monegasque Cooperation also supports women in the field of health (SDG n°3), in particular to improve maternal and child health in the Kolda region of Senegal. Thus, in partnership with the African NGO AMREF, as part of the "Stand up for African Mothers" program aimed at training 15,000 midwives in Africa, the Monegasque Cooperation is supporting a technological digital training system for nursing staff, which should make it possible to reduce the currently very high maternal and child mortality rates in the region.

The right to education and economic empowerment are at the heart of the vision of the Monegasque Cooperation, which participates in the implementation of the cooperation policy of the Prince's Government in its partner countries. For example, in Burundi, the Principality of Monaco, in partnership with UNESCO, provides schooling and vocational training for 2,000 girls in vulnerable situations. At the same time, their mothers, grouped in associations, benefit from literacy classes and activities enabling them to generate income for their families.

Good medication the likely answer I think.

Good medication the likely answer I think.

Hopefully medication combined with the services of a good & helpful therapist.  Just the one without the other is NO good.
