Recently, the "Princess Escape" of the Monaco royal family has ushered in a new chapter.
At the end of last month, Princess Charlene accompanied Prince Albert II to the scene of the Formula E Championship in Monaco with her children, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriela.
Both the audience and the media reporters were surprised, because this was the first time that Princess Charlene had made a public appearance with her husband in a year.
In May last year, she returned to her hometown of South Africa alone to participate in the conservation of wild animals, but she did not expect to stay in South Africa for the next few days, and did not return to Monaco.
The Monaco royal family explained that the princess could not fly back to China because of illness, but the media and netizens speculated that the marriage between the two had encountered an unprecedented crisis.
"The princess finally couldn't stand it and decided to flee the royal family," the voice came and went.
Princess Charlene finally flew back to Monaco last November, but not long after, flew to Switzerland.
Her husband, Prince Albert II, then issued a statement saying that Princess Charlene would not immediately resume her royal duties and that she was being treated at a Swiss clinic because of "physical and mental exhaustion".
It wasn't until March of this year that she returned to Monaco again.
During her time away from the Monaco royal family, not only did she miss many important royal occasions, but even the 10th wedding anniversary of Prince Albert II, they did not celebrate together.
However, Princess Charlene once again appeared at the event as a member of the royal family, returning to the public eye with a rare smile on her face, and the people of Monaco were happy to see her healthy appearance again.
Just when people thought that Princess Charlene had finally returned to the royal family this time, there was another scandal in the Monaco royal family recently - the reason why Princess Charlene returned was that the prince gave her a lot of money.
Foreign media broke out that Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene signed a "secret agreement", he promised to pay Princess Charlene more than 12 million euros a year,
The purpose of this money is to let her continue to stay in the royal family and perform royal duties.
French media were the first to break the secret agreement, saying that the 64-year-old Prince Albert II was doing everything in his power to keep the 44-year-old Princess Charlene by his side and "accompany him to public events" .
According to the French magazine Voici, "Princess Charlene did not come back empty-handed, she would have her husband sign an extremely confidential contract." ”
The sums included a payment of up to €12 million annually to Princess Albert II to Princess Charlene.
So Princess Charlene is now a worker?
It is reported that members of the Monaco royal family are not salaried royal officials, so princess Charlene has no income to attend the event.
His husband, Prince Albert II, has assets of $1 billion.
The $1 billion asset includes a quarter of the land ownership of the Monaco state, the Monaco Marina Resort Group, casinos and theaters in Monte Carlo, and expensive antique cars and other collectibles.
A royal insider living in Monte Carlo told the Daily Mail: "Of course the princess used to live a rich life and enjoy rich welfare, but these were not lasting.
She had been through a very difficult time, so it made sense for Princess Charlene to try to make sure her income was secure. ”
If this secret agreement is true, then Princess Charlene will no surprise participate in the next activities of the Monaco royal family,
These include the F1 competition on May 29 and the Rose Charity Ball, which was rescheduled from March 19 to July 8.
Although you can see the figure of Princess Charlene appear in front of the camera again, many netizens feel very heartbroken, feeling that the princess is not willing, even if no amount of money can buy happiness.
"This is a textbook example of money not buying happiness."
Some netizens pointed out that if other people had divorced a long time ago, but the princess had no choice but to see that she did not love the prince.
"What does she want 12 million a year for?" She already had free housing, food and all the designer clothes she wanted. Obviously, this is not a happy marriage, but "forced" by social expectations. If they were ordinary citizens, the divorce would now be finalized. They may sleep in different bedrooms. ”
She didn't look happy. Frankly, the people of Monaco did not accept her immediately at first, and she had to work to win their support. She was also far away from her country, family and friends, and was lonely. It was definitely not the fairytale life she imagined. ”
"She didn't love him at all, and she didn't even like to be around him. She was really pathetic. ”
In fact, the marriage of Princess Charlene and Prince Albert II was not favored by everyone from the beginning.
At the wedding of the two 10 years ago, the tearful scene of Princess Charlene became a classic scene of the Monaco royal family, and the story behind it was even more pitiful.
Before she got married, she learned that her husband's private life was chaotic, and more than one woman came to the door with his illegitimate son to recognize, and Charlene once wanted to repent.
Before the wedding, she tried three times to leave Monaco and return to South Africa, but was intercepted.
She was also crowned "the woman in the world who doesn't want to be a princess" because of her three escapes, and it is reported that in the end, the royal family signed an agreement with her to make her willing to stay.
Later, Princess Charlene seemed to ignore the previous suspicions, and attended public occasions with her husband, sometimes leaning sweetly together.
And the two also ushered in a pair of dragon and phoenix fetus children, and the days of a family of four seem to break the previous speculation that they are an "agreement couple".
As a result, in 2020, the husband was exposed to have a third illegitimate child outside, and the time of the birth of this illegitimate child was still when the two were in the love stage!
Their marriage was once again lit up with red lights.
Then Princess Charlene stayed in South Africa due to illness and lived separately from her husband for a long time.
Earlier this year, while Princess Charlene was treated far away in Switzerland, Prince Albert II's illegitimate daughter, 29-year-old Jazmin, actually shared a photo of herself sitting in a row with her father's second publicly admitted illegitimate son and Princess Charlene's children on her social media.
Fans of the Monaco royal family instantly fried the pan and hugged Princess Charlene, feeling that no one had taken into account Princess Charlene's feelings.
What is certain is that
With the exposure of this secret agreement,
The rumor that Princess Charlene and the Prince are "agreement couples" is afraid that they will make a comeback...
