In the middle of the week, Princess Charlene of Monaco posted a group of family photos on social media, and wrote that she was very happy to be reunited with her family.
This reunion is not in Prince Albert’s home in Monaco, but in Princess Charlene’s home in South Africa. Charlene returned to South Africa at the beginning of this year. It was originally a short trip, but she has not returned to Monaco until now. She has been "separated" for thousands of miles. In addition, Albert has never stopped the scandal, so the outside world has speculated that this royal marriage is about to end.
On August 23, the headline of the gossip media headline marked "Charlene and Albert will soon divorce". Subsequently, Albert staged a thousand miles chasing his wife, Xia Lin showed affection, and countered outside speculation.
But British body linguist Judy James pointedly stated that from the group photo, Charlene and Albert have no emotional bond at all. Even if two people hug each other tightly, Judy said, “Their eyes seem to be staring at another camera. This is more like posing for taking pictures than something really intimate.”
In another group photo, Judy even said Charlene made her see sadness, " Albert II's smile here is more convincing than hers. The corners of his eyes are slightly wrinkled, The corners of her mouth are upturned, and a symmetrical smile appears at the corners of her mouth. Xia Lin’s eyes show sadness in both positions.Although she is smiling, the corners of her mouth are slightly downward, suggesting complex emotions. "In Charlene and the two children, Judy said that they are close.
Although not as eye-catching as the British royal family, Charlene and Albert's love marriage It has always been the focus of gossip. Princess Charlene herself has a lot of stories. She was born as an athlete, has a beautiful appearance, and "escaped" three times before marriage. Today the turtle brings you the Prince and Scumman series.
Swimmer origin
In 1978, Charlene Wittstock ( Charlene Wittstock ) was born in a tropical African country Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) A mixed-race child of American, British and Irish descent. Dad is a salesman, and mom is a swimming coach. Housework is quite ordinary. In 1989, Charlene's family moved to South Africa.
Under the influence of her mother, Charlene grew up. Practicing swimming, talent is quite good plus very hard work, also practiced results. In 1999, in the national competition in South Africa, Charlene won three gold medals and one silver medal, and became famous in one fell swoop.
Therefore, she also won the opportunity to represent South Africa in the women's 4*100m relay in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, and eventually helped the team get fifth.Although he didn't win a medal, he was quite outstanding to be able to get into the Olympic finals.
After that, Charlene also represented South Africa in various international competitions, but none of them had outstanding results. In 2008, Xia Lin originally planned to participate in the Beijing Olympics to draw a perfect end to her swimming career. However, she had been in a truce for 18 months because of a shoulder injury, which greatly affected Xia Lin's preparations and ultimately did not qualify for the competition.
Swimmers are generally very slender, with beautiful curves, and Xia Lin is no exception. Coupled with the outstanding face and cold personality of Charlize Theron brought by the hybrid gene, Charlene won the title of "Iceberg Beauty" and "Mermaid".
Swimming competition meets Prince Albert II
In 2000, Charlene participated in the swimming competition held in Monaco and won the 50-meter swimming gold medal in Monte Carlo. Albert II was the guest of honor for that competition. He had a glimpse of Charlene for thousands of years, but because of the occasion, he had only a short contact. However, Albert II was very impressed with Charlene and began to pay attention.
In the second year, Charlene came to the Monte Carlo competition, and once again deepened the "Gu" against Albert II, so the enthusiasm for Charlene began Pursue, invite her to dinner. Charlene was flattered, completely unexpected,Now I bought a dress for the appointment. Albert II took Charlene a candlelight dinner to visit Monaco, it was so romantic.
Although the growth environment of the two people seems to be very different, but Albert II loves sports and represents Monaco team also participated in the Winter Olympics 3 times after succession. Served as the president of the Swimming Federation, which allowed him and Charlene to have a lot of common language.
In addition, Albert II was 42 years old, and the love veteran must have routines. Charlene in her early 20s soon fell and began dating Albert II. During their love, Albert II was undoubtedly indulging in Charlene. The two often attended activities sweetly, and the media often photographed scenes of their love.
Sweet engagement but ushered in an illegitimate child scandal
After the two have been in love for 40 years, Albert II began to love , Did not worry about getting married at all, until 2010, after 9 years in love, Albert II successfully proposed to Charlene.
In order to marry into the royal family, Charlene bid farewell to her hometown of South Africa, left the familiar environment, and even changed her belief from Protestant to Roman Catholicism, perhaps believing her and Albert Your love can overcome everything.
What about Albert II? He offered Charlene a "pigeon egg" to marry him,Then came a big "surprise". After the engagement, the media broke out that Albert II had an illegitimate child not more than 1 year old. And this is not the first time Albert II has been approached by an illegitimate child.
During his love with Charlene, a French flight attendant's son came to the door and said that the child was Albert II’s illegitimate child. Albert II could not avoid it, so he had to do a paternity test, which was confirmed as real. Later, a real estate agent from the United States came to the door and said that she was the illegitimate daughter of Albert II. "Good things come in pairs."
So many things are really only 0 and 100 times. The first two times were exposed to illegitimate children, Albert II coaxed Charlene, and even a successful marriage proposal, but the third When the second illegitimate child broke out, Charlene was hit hard and wanted to dissolve the marriage contract, but how could the royal family be willing?
The Monaco royal family wanted to use this wedding to recreate the mother of Albert II. Grace Kelly The world-famous scene at the time of marriage brought back the Monaco royal family, who was about to be identified.
Over the past few decades, the British royal family has used , Diana and , Princess Kate, , and Princess of Mona to have infinitely beautiful fairy-tale love and the "fairy-tale" wedding of the common people of the century. Story, how can I let her go.
Run away the bride try to escape
Although I know that it is impossible to dissolve the marriage contract,But Charlene still didn't want to marry, so she became a "runaway bride" and "ran away" three times.
For the first time, she took the opportunity of going to Paris to try her wedding dress and fled to the South African Embassy in Paris to seek asylum and wanted to return to South Africa. Persuaded by Albert II to return. The royal family does not recognize the third illegitimate child.
The second time was three weeks later. Charlene ran away in the F1 competition, but she was intercepted by the royal family at the airport in Nice, France. The royal family confiscated her passport and wanted to imprison her in the palace.
The last time she "escaped" was a few days before the wedding. If she did not escape, she would have no chance. Charlene who grabbed her passport came to the airport and wanted to fly back to South Africa. This time maybe she was the closest to freedom. Once, but in the end I was stopped.
According to the French "Voici" magazine, Charlene came back to get married because of a secret agreement: as long as she gave birth to the heir to the throne, she would be divorced and get alimony of 500 million US dollars. , Equivalent to half of the Prince's property. Bastard children do not have the right to inheritance, so Albert II needs a palace to pass on his lineage.
Charlene Tears of the Century Wedding
On July 1, 2011, the two-day wedding celebration began. On the second day, a traditional wedding religious ceremony was held at Monaco Palace . Charlene wore a white wedding dress at the ceremony.
wedding dress is designed by Armani ,The strapless design is inlaid with more than 20,000 pearls and 40,000 Swarovski crystals . The embroidery pattern on it took 700 hours to create in platinum. The tail part of the wedding dress is nearly 5 meters long, very delicate and takes 100 hours to complete.
It took 2500 hours to make this wedding dress. Even if you don’t eat, drink or sleep, it takes 104 days to make it 24 hours a day, which is extremely luxurious.
The wedding is also a gathering of celebrities, and the chairman of the Olympic Committee at the time Roger, the fashion industry legend Galeries Lagerfeld and the designer of Galerie Lagerfeld and the wedding dresses .
Monaco has worked hard for this wedding. It cost nearly 100 million, so of course it has to be broadcast live like the British, and you can’t lose. But the world has not seen fairy tales.
Charlene cried for a long time at the wedding scene, not knowing whether she was moved by some new promises from Albert II, or she was no longer able to suppress her heartache about entering the shackles of the royal family.
After the wedding, their honeymoon was held in South Africa. During the honeymoon, the DNA report of the prince’s illegitimate child came out... The results were not disclosed.But for Charlene it was another scar.
The two have never been pregnant since they got married. Morocco is anxious in the country, and Albert II has gone for 60. There is no crown prince, and Charlene is already an outsider. , So Charlene was left out in the cold.
But three years later, Xia Lin gave birth to a lovely baby for the royal family. If according to the secret agreement at the time, Charlene could divorce after giving birth, but this time she did not run away, stayed, educates her children, and accompanied Albert II to attend the event.
Rebellious shaved head and refused to go home
looks like a family of four come true after the fairy tale has a child . But reality will always hit hard when people feel that everything is going to be all right.
In 2020, another lawsuit against an illegitimate child came to Albert II. The birth of the illegitimate child was during their relationship. When attending the event at the end of the year, Charlene changed her former dignity and elegance and shaved all her hair on one side, which was quite rebellious punk .
The media have expressed that this is a silent protest.She has had enough. (I don’t know if Princess Bella’s inverted triangle bangs in this photo imitates her mother)
Xia Lin has been in South Africa most of the time this year, and has been here until now. Did not return to Monaco. The last time she and Albert II joined together to attend an event was in January.
In March of this year, Charlene returned to South Africa because of her foundation’s anti-poaching activities. It was originally a 10-day journey, but in the end Charlene was sick and unable to fly long distances, so she stayed in South Africa for treatment.
During Charlene’s time in South Africa, Albert II was a single parent with a baby, and attended the event accompanied by only a pair of children and other royal family members. In June, Albert II took the children to South Africa to see Charlene, but Charlene did not follow.
In July this year, the 10th anniversary of the two people's marriage, the two are still thousands of miles apart, the royal family released a two-minute short film reviewing the love story of the two, Xia Lin also sent ins to commemorate. Thousands of miles away, we must also create an atmosphere of love as before.
In August, the royal family said that Charlene had undergone a four-hour operation. The specific reason was not disclosed. ,Charlene's negative comments among the Monegasque people have increased. Monaco royal expert Stéphane Bearn said in the latest article in "Paris Match" that the people of Monaco are getting more and more angry with their out-of-control princess, Charlene's emotions They are all criticizing everything that fluctuates to her appearance. Her luster is being worn away.
Her sad look is considered haggard. The disappointed Monegasque said that her anger, her whimsical emotions, were as changeable as her hair.
In addition to these, the outside world is also speculating whether the two are leaving? The negotiated marriage is finally coming to an end? Some media speculated that the physical reason was just an excuse for Charlene not to return to the royal family.
Some time ago, Albert II’s aunt who lived in Vienna also revealed to the Italian media that Albert II had been exhausted by this marriage, and he was unable to recover from this marriage. , For this seemingly perfect marriage, he no longer wants to pretend it.
However, the outside world has been rumored, and the royal family has been refuting rumors. This time Albert II went to South Africa to chase his wife.
Last week, Xia Lin said in an interview that this is the longest time she has left Europe, and she wants to be with the children, but because of severe sinus infections, long-distance flights can cause ear problems, so I will stay in South Africa until October, but I don't know if Charlene is really willing to go back by then.
spread,Monaco has a curse. The Monaco royal family under the Grimaldi family will not have a perfect love for 700 years. Albert II's mother, Grace Kelly, who was as dazzling as Charlene, also encountered her husband's betrayal after marrying into the royal family, but she also chose to forbear and be a good mother and princess.
Grace Kelly, who has been imprisoned for half his life, said that Monaco looks like a paradise from the outside, but it is also a prison. But in fact, the royal family is the "prison". Diana also fell in love with Charles with longing, but she did not realize that she was just a rational choice of the royal family. All they needed was a decent princess.
Africa where Charlene grows has vast grasslands and the sea, but the area is only 2.08 square kilometers. Monaco is too small.
