The relationship between Charlene of Monaco and Prince Albert of Monaco has just taken an unexpected U-turn after the latest analysis carried out by a psychologist from our country. For a long time, there has been speculation about a possible crisis within the marriage, a doubt that has now been cleared up.
It has been 14 years since Monaco's princes got married in a ceremony held at the Grimaldi Palace. It is a love story that has always been called into question.
In fact, for years, Charlene of Monaco was nicknamed "the sad princess," but now Prince Albert of Monaco's wife has started to gradually free herself from that label.
Over these years, the couple have had to directly face countless rumors that gave details, sometimes false, about their most intimate and personal life. This situation has caused great confusion about their relationship.
It was so difficult to manage for Charlene of Monaco in the early years. However, over time, she has learned to express herself nonverbally, using body language.
Now, after the princess has recovered from the health problems that kept her away for months, psychologist Lara Ferreiro has analyzed her marriage in detail.
"There is that emotional distance between them. But even though they're not compatible, they've reached an understanding," this couples therapy expert told Lecturas magazine.

Ferreiro has also stated emphatically that Charlene of Monaco and Prince Albert of Monaco "would have divorced if it hadn't been for the Principality being involved." But now, "they're doomed to understand each other."
In addition, this expert wanted to focus on the important "cultural differences" that exist between them. "Charlene is African, raised in a freer environment, an athlete, and Albert of Monaco is a European prince, with everything that entails."
That's why she believes that "it's not so easy to adapt to a man like him and everything he represents." Meanwhile, Lara Ferreiro has indicated that for "many years there has been a power imbalance" between Charlene of Monaco and Prince Albert of Monaco.
But now, thanks to the change in attitude and the great adaptation that the former Olympic swimmer has had within the Grimaldi Family, "there is an evident balance" within the marriage. "Charlene no longer seems forced to defend her institutional role, now she participates voluntarily," she added.
Even so, the psychologist has stated that the gestures they've dedicated to each other in their latest public appearances, although they seem relaxed, "hide a certain rigidity." They also reflect "everything they've been through."
However, Ferreiro hasn't hesitated to highlight the "mutual loyalty" that exists between Charlene of Monaco and Prince Albert of Monaco. This detail has been key in their relationship.
In fact, in the latest speech given by the Princess of Monaco in support of her husband, she assured that she would be by his side "forever." This gesture, according to the expert, shows that "she has publicly supported Albert of Monaco's role and has aligned herself with his vision."
"There is also mutual protection regarding rumors of separation. Both defend that bond, there is a commitment as parents and also as princes of Monaco," Ferreiro emphasized.
Nevertheless, although they're currently going through a much more harmonious moment, their relationship doesn't fit the traditional patterns of romantic love: "They're a couple doomed to understand each other."
"It's a marriage that's more institutional than romantic, but stable and functional, with agreed-upon strategies. In the end, it's a lasting alliance for the good of the institution, their children, and themselves."
Now, 14 years after their wedding, this expert believes that Charlene of Monaco and Prince Albert of Monaco "are in that phase of symbolic reconstruction." "Albert of Monaco is a person who has his quirks and loves adrenaline, while Charlene is more sensitive and reserved," she concluded.
