On July 2, 2011, Princess Charlene of Monaco burst into tears at her wedding, heartbroken that she did not have a smiley face the whole time, even her husband kissed her with ten thousand reluctance, why the much-anticipated Royal Century Wedding in Monaco was so bleak...
Princess Charlene
It is rumored that the Grimaldi family of the Monaco royal family was cursed for 700 years without a perfect love.
The previous Princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly, was once killed in a royal marital tragedy. This time, the curse of fate seems to have fallen on Charlene, the princess of Monaco, who thought she was a Cinderella who married a prince and fell in love, but when she was about to step into the hall of happiness, she found that she had already fallen victim to the marriage of the Monaco royal family.
What happened to Princess Charlene's love? Let her cry at the wedding, and also three attempts to escape marriage before marriage?
Charlene's Cinderella Dream
Charlene has the figure and appearance that countless women dream of, the tall figure of 178, and her experience as an athlete has experienced a unique muscle line and temperament, and her style makes many other royal women ashamed of themselves.
After marriage, Charlene's attendance at any occasion is like a walking hanger, perfect proportions, beautiful back right angle shoulders, with a golden hair, such a temperament no one's eyes do not stop at her body.
And it is such a royal princess, giving the impression of the temperature of an iceberg, because she has never felt a sense of belonging in monaco.
Charlene with Prince Albert II
"I distinctly remember the sky in Africa, which is different from anywhere else in the world." Charlene didn't want to return to her life in South Africa all the time. As the public perception suggests, Charlene is the commoner princess of Monaco.
Charlene was not born in Monaco, but was a native of South Africa. Her family is very ordinary, her father is a sales manager, and her mother is a sports-advocating veteran diver and swimming instructor, and her mother's sports genes seem to be completely inherited to Charlene.
Charlene and her parents as babies
Charlene liked to play with water since she was a child, and gradually became a swimmer, under the influence of her mother, she became more and more obsessed with swimming, and her dream at that time was still very simple, that is, she wanted to become a world-renowned swimmer.
Chasing dreams is brutal, and while many children are playing and playing, Charlene is already undergoing rigorous training in the swimming pool.
She was often exhausted by the devil's training, and even the next day when her body was sore, she gritted her teeth and persevered. It is this kind of hard work and hard work day after day that has created Charlene's iron will and stubborn character.
Growing up, Charlene also became a South African national swimmer.
In 1999, she made her debut at the All-Africa Games, winning three gold medals and one silver medal in one fell swoop, representing South Africa twice at the Commonwealth Games, during which time she became a regular winner of all major national events in South Africa.
In 2000, Charlene represented South Africa at the Swimming Championships in Monaco, where she won the gold medal in the 50m backstroke, a victory that, although as usual, was completely rewritten by the competition.
The guest of honor she received after winning the championship was her future husband, Prince Albert II.
Charlene fell off so beautiful and generous, temperamental figure and pure face made everyone present stunned, as the guest of honor Prince Albert is a million years, Charlene in the pool to raise their hands and feet to fascinate the Prince of Monaco.
Albert, as a veteran of the love scene, seems to smell love again, and although the two have a glimpse at the award ceremony, they have not yet sparked a spark of love.
Albert II and Charlene
The following year, Charlene again represented the country in Monaco. Seeing that the opportunity came again, Albert II, who was already ready to go, began a fierce attack in pursuit of Charlene.
Albert II was so skilful at creating surprises that every time he invited Charlene on a date, he would send a carefully selected souvenir of the signatures of a celebrity athlete or a piece of artful handmade art.
Although there is no particularly expensive thing, it is very useful for the young and simple Charlene, plus the two have a common topic of loving sports, and over time, Charlene has slowly developed admiration.
But the difference between the two is more than 20 years of age because she can't cross the secular divide, coupled with Albert II's status as crown prince of Monaco, Charlene's love for the prince is obviously a little hesitant, and she does not dare to expect her status as a commoner to become a royal and live a noble life.
Perhaps aware of Charlene's concerns, Albert began to take the initiative to guide Charlene to feel the sweetness of love.
Albert began to take Charlene all the way to the mountains and rivers, cross-border meetings. The prince used his habitual dash to make Charlene completely forget her previous worries. In the pursuit of Charlene, Albert behaves as both gentleman and elegant, and the scale between concessions is perfectly grasped.
Charlene has only experienced the boring training on the sports field, where can she withstand the prodigal son of this love field? In this way, Charlene's cold heart was melted into a warm spring by this charming prince.
The relationship between the two quickly heated up, and in 2006, Albert made a high-profile announcement of his relationship with Charlene.
In 2010, Albert proposed to Charlene and issued an invitation to enter the marriage hall together, and Charlene always had a beautiful yearning for marriage, and was deeply moved and gladly agreed.
However, she thought that ending the 8-year long run in love was a blessing of marriage, but she did not know that her fate was falling into the abyss step by step.
The "Prisoner Princess" who has escaped marriage three times
After the prince's marriage proposal was successful, Monaco began to prepare for the royal wedding. The Royal Family wants to once again push the Kingdom of Monaco to the world through this world-renowned wedding of the Prince and rebuild Monaco's international status.
In order to expand the influence and publicity, the royal family invested huge financial and material resources in this wedding. With the help of the beautiful civilian princess and this grand wedding of the century, they will raise Monaco's international image to a new level and revitalize the international glory of that year.
But just a few months before the wedding, Charlene's fiancé Albert II was exposed to a shocking scandal:
Albert II had illegitimate children with other women during his love affair with Charlene! And all over the world.
The media report that Albert II is actually a replica of his father, and he is full of mercy, and his previous illegitimate children alone have publicly admitted 2.
Under Monaco law, Albert II's illegitimate son had no right to inherit the throne, did not have a royal title, but could inherit property.
Perhaps hearing the news that Albert II was about to take the throne, all the people wanted to come and get some oil and water, and the "summer rain lotus" around the world began to look for Albert II to recognize him, claiming that they had given birth to his flesh and bones.
On 6 July 2005, Albert II made public for the first time his illegitimate son, his son Alexandre, born in 2003.
Nicole
It was the result of him and Air France's black stewardess Nicole. Although the prince did not admit it when it broke out, he finally accepted the 15-year-old illegitimate child under the pressure of the media.
In 2006, Albert II publicly admitted for the second time to his illegitimate daughter, Jazmin Grace, born in 1992.
Albert II and illegitimate daughter Jazmin Grace
This is the illegitimate daughter of the Prince of Merry with an American real estate agent when he was on vacation, and finally this woman raised her daughter alone, now 27 years old, at first the woman did not know the identity of the prince, until she watched the French news, which took a lot of effort to find the door, and finally Albert II still accepted everything.
Albert and Nicole
Since then, such exposures have emerged endlessly, but the prince has never admitted it again, but there is no wind or waves, and the issue of the prince's style has always been the focus of everyone's discussion.
Apparently, Charlene had also heard the news that Albert II had two public illegitimate children, but she chose to be on the same side as her fiancé because she felt that it happened before the two fell in love, and there was not much point in arguing.
The kind-hearted Charlene trusts her fiancé too much, but as the diamond king of Monaco, how can his affair stop there?
In the next few days, the French media reported Albert's third illegitimate son, and according to the age of the child, the relationship between the two was the period of Love between Albert and Charlene, which made Charlene sad, and she completely saw through the scumbag face of this mercurial prince.
Albert and Charlene
But even so, the lonely Charlene could not compete with the Monaco royal family, and it was impossible for her to terminate the marriage contract alone.
Escaping marriage was the only way Charlene could think of a way out of the bitter sea, but she tried to escape three times, and was eventually captured by the Monaco royal family.
Charlene
The first time she escaped was when Charlene went to Paris to try on her wedding dress, when she had already run to the South African Embassy in Paris, but did not get their help, and she was eventually taken back directly to the palace by Albert II.
The royal family had already made up the big picture at that time, and decided to use the wedding of the two to eliminate the negative impact of the rumors of the prince's illegitimate son, so they would not allow any moths to appear before the wedding.
Three weeks later, Charlene ran away for the second time, during the F1 Grand Prix in Monaco, and she sneaked to the airport in Nice, France, while watching the game, but was eventually arrested by the police sent by the royal family.
Two days before the wedding, Charlene summed up her previous two experiences and bought a one-way ticket from France to Johannesburg, South Africa.
But at the very last moment of embarking on the plane, the Monaco royal family used its influence to ask the French government to intercept the bride-to-be who ran away, and her passport was confiscated.
According to a French magazine, Charlene obediently returned to marry because she reached a secret agreement with the royal family: as long as she gave birth to the heir to the throne, she could divorce and get $500 million in alimony, equivalent to half of the prince's property.
Perhaps Charlene saw through the ugly face of the Monaco royal family, or perhaps she no longer had any hope for marriage and life, and Charlene finally chose to agree to this prenuptial agreement.
The former Olympic swimming champion seems to have begun to compromise her fate, which also dooms her future marriage to no good end.
On July 2, 2011, the world-renowned wedding of the century was held as scheduled, and at the grand wedding, the media around the world seemed to see only the undisguised sadness and desolation of the bride Charlene.
The Guardian noticed that Charlene had come out of the royal chapel, her lips trembling and tears rolling down her cheeks. Albert II whispered to her, "Don't cry, don't cry." "I desperately want to make this drama a successful ending."
The Associated Press, which has always been conservative and neutral, reported that the princess's expression was "mostly very depressed, and she cried the whole time." ”
During the honeymoon period after the wedding, the two actually got into trouble in different hotels, and you must know how humiliating this is for a prince of Monaco!
But who let this mercurial prince marry a loyal and proud Charlene? In the end, the two spent a short honeymoon in the form of sleeping in separate rooms, during which the news of the prince's illegitimate son scandal was constantly heard, and it is conceivable how tormented and painful Charlene was at that time.
The cycle of fate
To outsiders, Charlene, like Cinderella in fairy tales, suddenly rose from the depressed town of Zimbabwe, South Africa, to become a high-profile royal aristocrat. But the difference is that Cinderella meets a prince, and she meets a scumbag.
Introverted and unexpressive, Charlene is not as enthusiastic and unrestrained as other princesses, she left everything for her love, left her hometown in South Africa, and she married alone to the strange Monaco.
There were no more people and languages she knew, and even religious beliefs had been forced to change, but there was no choice for Charlene.
Charlene and Albert II
Charlene's fate is already irrevocable, and what awaits her is monaco's caged puppet life.
Albert II's mother, Grace Kelly, who had been imprisoned in Monaco for half her life, once said that Monaco looked like a paradise from the outside, but it was also a prison.
Grace Kelly
In fact, when Grace was pregnant with her first daughter, she knew that her husband, Rainier III, had been unfaithful to her, and in just a few months, Rainier III had found at least three mistresses. ”
But the helpless Grace still chose to be patient, and eventually became a fertility tool for the Monaco royal family, ending her life in confinement.
Princesses of the past
Coincidentally, it seems that Charlene's fate is also cursed in Monaco, and she experiences the reincarnation of Grace's fate,
After marriage, the prince is still everywhere to stir up flowers and grass, and like the old prince of that year, he sows seeds everywhere, and from time to time there are media rumors of his illegitimate son!
It's just that now Charlene has chosen to be patient and silent, and she seems to understand everything like this better than anyone.
In the face of the media camera, Charlene is either expressionless or a clumsy and perfunctory smile, and the purity and truth of the past have long been eroded by the years.
The Reborn "South African Mermaid"
In 2014, Charlene gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix babies for the Monaco royal family, and the angelic baby seemed to warm Charlene's cold heart again, and her hope for life seemed to be rekindled.
The two little angels have completely inherited the genes of their mother's beauty and exquisiteness, with fair skin and innocent cuteness. Looking at the baby's watery eyes, as if all the sorrows of the world could be forgotten, Charlene felt that as long as the child was around, everything else was not important.
Surprisingly, Charlene regained her graceful figure shortly after giving birth. She wore a white mid-sleeved dress, high heels of the same color on her feet, and a cropped outcrop slim to make her figure more tall and straight.
She is particularly prominent among all the guests, with a dignified atmosphere, and it is completely impossible to see that she is a twin mother who has given birth to a child.
Now Charlene seems to want to open up completely, she chooses to be a mother of two children, and she no longer wants to be the wife of the prince, and she will no longer run away, but her love with her husband is not as simple as it seems.
At the end of 2020, Charlene cut off her once proud blonde hair and unexpectedly left a strange and unique punk short hair, which clearly did not match her noble status as a Princess of Monaco.
But this can also be seen in the resistance and fearlessness of Charlene in the face of the confinement of the royal family, she wants to use her external image to break the opinions of others, she wants to live her own dashing and free life.
When there is a chance, Charlene will also visit her family in South Africa, where she will be particularly relaxed, it is her own free world, she is passionate about wildlife protection, helping wild animals return to the embrace of nature, such a state makes Charlene feel relaxed and happy.
In recent years, Charlene has also begun to focus on independently carrying out her favorite royal activities: swimming foundation, wildlife protection, and water bike riding competitions.
Now she has lived her own beautiful life, she loves her hometown, she loves the sports state that once sweated like rain, that is her spiritual pursuit.
Of course, Charlene still has to maintain the role of a princess, and she also has to post photos and videos of her royal family on social platforms, so that the world knows that she and the prince are still the same "love" as usual.
Such role-playing has made Charlene feel strange, she can easily take on the status of a princess and a prince's wife, but she can also make changes to the life she pursues.
Charlene and the Prince's family
Have time and money, and enjoy your own free life. Such a state is really too moist!
It is also well understood this truth that Charlene would rather be a good mother and a good princess than obsess over being a good wife. How short is a life, why bother to fall in love? Since some people can't choose, let's live their own share of the value.
Monaco's fate is still playing out, but who are the reincarnated people? For women, from the moment they step into the magnate or royal family, they are doomed to face unequal human rights and treatment.
Because she wanted the magnates and honors that she could not reach, there were giants with different fates and royal tragedies.
Of course, there are not a few unique people, they are more able to practice what they preach, and constantly strengthen their hearts, as long as they stand higher, they enjoy a different scenery. Therefore, people must be strong enough to see their own hope and value.
