Slowly but surely, Princess Charlene of Monaco has been finding her feet after taking a year out to deal with her health issues.
Now, the European royal is preparing to celebrate a significant milestone – her 45th birthday. And she’s planning to do it in style.
“I feel full of energy right now,” shares the princess, who spent most of 2021 in South Africa, away from her husband Prince Albert, 64, and their young twins, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella.
“I’ve had an active year and it’s done me a lot of good,” she shares. “My health remains the most important thing to me, along with the love of those I hold dear.”
Palace insiders say Zimbabwe-born, South Africa-raised Charlene – a former Olympic swimmer – is planning her own party in Monte Carlo to celebrate her January 25 birthday.
