Prince Albert has lifted the lid on the rumours surrounding his marriage to Princess Charlene.

The Prince of Monaco said his family and the public support him despite all the negativity directed towards The House of Grimaldi.

Speaking this week, he said: "Thankfully, my whole family is there for me, showering me with their affection, both my immediate family and the extended family of Monegasque."

The royal continued to tell Paris Match: "She [Charlene] was also very upset for me, and saddened by certain things that came out in the media.

"We supported each other. She has resumed many of her activities, more public engagements, to everyone’s delight."

Charlene and Albert have faced several negative rumours regarding their marriage.

In 2020, the princess, 46, contracted an ear, nose and throat infection and remained in South Africa where she was receiving treatment.

She did not return to Monaco until October 2021, sparking many rumours about a potential split with Prince Albert.

In addition, Princess Charlene deleted her Instagram account in the summer of 2023.

In an interview with a South African media outlet, the princess denied the rumours about a split, calling them “draining and exhausting”.

She stated: “There’s nothing wrong with our marriage and I find the rumours to be draining and exhausting.
