With his wife Princess Charlene still absent from public life since her 2021 stay in a treatment facility with an ear, nose and throat infection, insiders say Prince Albert has used her disappearance to grow closer to his children and hold a family reunion.
Prince Albert’s eldest daughter Jazmin Grimaldi, 29, recently shared a picture of herself with Albert and Charlene’s seven-year-old twins, Jacques and Gabriella, and her half-brother Alexandre Grimaldi-Coste, 18, who was the product of an affair after Albert met his mother, Nicole Coste, on a flight from Nice to Paris.
Now palace sources have revealed the prince is using the fact that wife Charlene, 43, is currently out of the picture to give his kids a chance to bond and provide the twins with some support while their mum is missing in action – but Charlene’s not happy about it.
“Despite appearances of a playboy prince, Albert is a doting father to all four of his children and has been a rock for the twins while their mum is sorting out her health issues,” says a royal source.
“He thinks this is the perfect opportunity to allow his eldest two kids to bond with the twins and give them something to focus on.”
