Since 1297, the Royal Palace of Monaco has been the official residence of the Grimaldi family.
It carries the good memories of Princess Grace's family, but it is also the place where rumors are generated.
Since last year, Charlene has been reluctant to return to this so-called home, and after a short break, Charlene embarked on a journey of so-called "treatment".
Since then, no one knows where the princess of this country has gone or what she is doing now.
In fact, this palace was built in 1215, the predecessor of the palace is a fortress, which is similar to our Great Wall, used for defense.
Over the centuries, the palace has undergone great changes, in fact, this palace was originally a border fortress of the Republic of Genoa, and in the process of continuous expansion, this fortress retained a strong militaristic element.
The Grimaldi family was one of the aristocratic families of the Republic of Genoa, which played an important role in 12th-century Europe.
Genoese are the most business-minded, they have had business dealings with Middle Easterners and Easterners, they will provide money to other countries, ships, armed soldiers, and so on.
In 1297, a man named François disguised himself as a monk and asked to spend the night in the fortress.
In the end, he killed the guards and captured the fortress with his men, and François, who had captured the fortress, became a French admiral.
But the person who really became the first lord of Monaco was Charles III, who eventually led his family and his men to successfully expand the territory and strengthen the fortifications.
Over the years, the fortress has been constantly improving, and it has become more habitable for humans.
After the fifteenth century, Lambert became his successor, and he built the fort into three towers to form a fan-shaped protective wall.
Before the tower and the city walls, Lambert added a two-story building, which is the prototype of the Monaco Palace.
In order to protect their territory, the Grimaldi family has been constantly fighting against Genoa, Venice, France, Spain, Germany and other countries.
These wars caused great damage to the fortress, and for the sake of the eternal family business, the Grimaldi family had to establish an alliance with France.
Eventually, with the mediation of Lucien, the Grimaldi family reached an agreement with France to recognize Monaco's independence.
In order to make the fortress look more like a royal palace, Honoré I invited Italian designers to build the ancient fortress into its current appearance.
Taking into account the war, Honoré I built a new tower, reinforced it, and expanded the cistern under the courtyard.
The Royal Palace of Monaco is said to be able to defend against 648 days of attacks by 1,000 soldiers.
With the advent of peacetime, the Royal Palace of Monaco ushered in its most glorious and peaceful moment, when the princes brought all kinds of European art here.
Includes tapestries, silverware, furniture, and paintings by various artists.
But this period of calm did not last long, and under the influence of the French Revolution, the collection of the Grimaldi family was looted, Monaco was reduced to a state capital, the royal palace was renamed "Castle of Hercules", and the members of the Grimaldi family were exiled.
All the belongings of the Grimaldi family were auctioned off, and it was turned into a military hospital, the "royal dining room" became the hospital's kitchen, and the palace became a slum for refugees.
Here has experienced life, old age, illness and death, the pain and wailing brought by the war reverberating in the palace, and the atmosphere here is extremely eerie and depressing.
In 1814, France handed over the administration of the palace to the Grimaldi family, but after this terrible experience, the palace had become crumbling.
As a result, the Monarch of Monaco had to demolish part of the building.
Finally, under the construction of Rainier III, the palace was restored to its former glory.
In order to make people forget the past history of the palace, the Monaco Royal Palace adopts soft and bright tones, and the palace also uses smooth stone with excellent lighting.
No amount of disguise can hide everything that has been experienced here.
Once upon a time, the staff of the court confessed that the oppressive atmosphere in the court was suffocating, and although it had magnificent colors and a life of fine clothes, it still could not fill the emptiness in Princess Charlene's heart.
Even though she was the highest-ranking and most materialistic woman in the country, her empty soul could not find a home.
No one knows what kind of life tribulations Charlene has experienced, and what kind of despair she has, but this place that has always been called home is also the place she is most reluctant to come back.
