Albert of Monaco and his wife, Charlene of Monaco, became protagonists a few months ago in the last stage of the Tour de France. The sovereigns of the Principality attended the event, capturing the interest of the international press by how they presented themselves. In the midst of the rumored controversial relationship between Albert and Charlene, they showed great complicity.
In recent years, the marriage has been surrounded by theories pointing to a crisis in the couple. These hypotheses were based on the cold and distant relationship that both Albert and Charlene displayed in public. However, just after celebrating 13 years of marriage, the couple appeared more united and affectionate than ever.

Albert of Monaco and Charlene of Monaco put an end to their controversial relationship
In recent times, the relationship between Prince Albert of Monaco and his wife, Charlene of Monaco, has sparked rumors of a crisis. In their appearances, there seemed to be a certain tension between them that predicted problems in the marriage. Cold and distant, barely touching or looking at each other, they led experts to talk about a controversial relationship between them.
However, at the past Tour de France, Albert and Charlene captured attention for the opposite reason. The international press spoke of a drastic change in the couple that puts an end to the rumors about their controversial relationship. Because the sovereign prince and the princess appeared more affectionate and united than ever.

"There was a festive and friendly atmosphere, there was very good humor," stated the French newspaper Gala. For the occasion, Charlene opted for a classic but daring style that made her stand out from the rest. Additionally, those present explained that she was relaxed and even playful with Albert.
"They played with each other during the Tour," agreed another French media outlet. This attitude of the marriage deviates from the regal and distant image that both Albert and Charlene have shared in recent times. This has caught the attention of all international media who celebrate this good harmony of the princes of Monaco.
Albert of Monaco and Charlene of Monaco give a twist to their marriage
While in France they received this twist in the marriage with surprise, in Monaco it has gone completely unnoticed. There is still a certain reluctance in the Principality toward Princess Charlene, whom they consider the most puzzling princess.
In her appearances, she barely shows herself as she is, and exudes a coldness that fails to convince. Hence, the rumors point to a distancing from Albert, with whom she tries not to exchange certain displays of affection when in public.

However, for experts, this behavior is related to the tough period Charlene went through a few years ago. As she explained, her mental health deteriorated, and she had to focus her efforts on recovery. Something she celebrated recently: "I feel in great shape, happy and serene," she commented.
That happiness is what she let out at the Tour de France along with Albert, who played along with her at all times. For the sovereign prince, at no time has his marriage been in crisis. "These rumors hurt me, falsehood," he stated, denying that there was any controversy in their relationship.
Next July, Albert of Monaco and Charlene will celebrate 14 years of marriage, and a big party is expected. Not only have they overcome the princess's health problems, but they have also put an end to the rumors about their relationship. There are, therefore, plenty of reasons for the couple to smile and let themselves be carried away by mutual affection.
