Albert of Monaco and Princess Charlene have once again become the center of attention, after the truth about their marriage has come to light.
In recent times, rumors related to the marriage of Monaco's princes have gained strength. This situation has been intensified by speculation about the lack of connection that, apparently, exists between them.
So much so that some claim their marriage is more of a strategic agreement than a union based on love, and that each of them could even have other partners.
These theories, although they haven't been officially confirmed, seem to have some basis. Especially if one takes into account the problems Albert of Monaco and Princess Charlene are going through in their personal lives.
One of the topics that has raised the most suspicion is the children the sovereign of Monaco had outside his marriage. However, both were born before his wedding.
As has come to light, years ago Albert of Monaco acknowledged Jazmin Grace and Alexandre Coste, children he had with other women. But the truth is that the relationship with them doesn't seem to be very close, at least, on Princess Charlene's part.
According to some rumors, she doesn't want her two children, Gabriella and Jacques, to have any connection with their older siblings, which adds even more tension to this complicated family situation.
The whole truth about the marriage of Albert of Monaco and Princess Charlene is exposed
Meanwhile, the attitude Princess Charlene has shown over these years has sparked a wave of rumors about her possible estrangement from Albert of Monaco.
Year after year, the sovereign has appeared at public events with gestures of discouragement. In addition, her frequent absences from official events add more arguments for those who claim the marriage is an economic agreement arranged before the wedding.
To all these rumors, new information has recently been added that reinforces this theory. What has truly shaken public opinion are the revelations of Claude Palmero, who was for years the financial administrator and confidant of Albert of Monaco.
Thanks to his close relationship with the Grimaldi family, Palmero had access to details about the marriage that were previously unknown. Among them, a surprising confession stands out: Princess Charlene reportedly spent more than €15 million (over $16.2 million) in less than a decade.
This figure far exceeds the annual salary of Albert of Monaco's wife, which, according to ABC, amounts to €1.5 million (about $1.62 million). As expected, this excessive spending has caused a great stir, especially in Monaco.
However, the controversy increased when Palmero revealed that Prince Albert had bought a "bachelor apartment" in the name of a third party to hide it from his wife.
This type of action fuels the idea that Princess Charlene's relationship with her husband isn't going through its best moment. In addition, the secrets that have come to light could ultimately shatter the public image of the marriage.
