Princess Charlene of Monaco, wife of Prince Albert, withdrew from advertising for a long time due to fatigue. She is now again often seen in public life. She will most likely also be present on Saturday at Prince’s Day, a national holiday in the Principality of Monaco. However, there would still be a lot of tension within the family.
“Monegasques love me more than they love Charlene,” exclaims Nicole Coste in an interview with Daily mail. The 50-year-old French designer is Prince Albert’s ex. They have been in a relationship for five years since 1997 and have a son Alexandre (19) together.
The conversation with the newspaper will take place in 2021, when Albert’s current wife, Charlene (44), will have to take a break from exhaustion. At a clinic in South Africa, she is being treated for health problems she has after a jaw infection. It seems the time has come for Coste to seek publicity.
After six months in South Africa, Charlene returns to Monaco, but the head of state Albert is often only seen on public occasions. The princess is still in a clinic. Albert speaks of “physical and mental exhaustion”. She “she felt overwhelmed and unable to cope with her official duties, daily life and family life.”
Hostile statements from Albert’s ex Coste will not be served here. The stylist says Charlene’s health problems are “karma.” “She really doesn’t care that she’s not well,” she told the paper. “The people of Monaco respect me and I am close to Albert”.
Coste met the prince in 1997, but in 2000, Albert met Charlene. The line between these two relationships is blurred, which may have contributed to Coste’s distaste for the princess.
Coste says Charlene is willfully standing up to her family. He says the princess deliberately moved Alexandre’s bedroom in their residential palace to the staff wing, away from the family. “I really have no words for this kind of action,” says Coste.
Prince Albert replies to the controversial interview, but does not deny anything. He just says, “Obviously I didn’t know he was going to tell me. It wasn’t appropriate and I was furious when I read it.”
Despite her negative claims about Charlene, Coste is still good friends with the prince. He gave her a house on the French Riviera and she received generous alimony. Albert still has good contact with his son and sees him regularly.
With his bold statements, Coste seems to want to discredit his ex’s current wife. It is said that she wants to become first lady and take Charlene’s place.
The designer lives in Paris, but is increasingly seen in Monaco. For example, in January he was at the celebrations of Sainte-Devote, a holiday in Monaco. An event where Charlene would have made an appearance for her, had she not been ill.
Albert also meets his ex and their son. They recently met in New York. Among them was also Albert’s daughter Jazmin, whom the prince had with the American maid Tamara Rotolo.
A photo of the three was taken by Coste, who apparently also accompanied the trip to the United States. “A king of father”, writes the stylist. A modern family therefore, but one that keeps people busy.
