EastEnders: Prince Charles and Camilla visit Albert Square

       Prince Albert and Princess Charlene of Monaco were seen taking their children to school in their seventh public appearance in nine days amidst separation rumours.

       The pair were pictured on the Palace’s Instagram with their eight-year-old twins Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella to celebrate the children’s first day of school.

       At the weekend, Albert and Charlene put on a loving display while attending the Rugby World Cup in Marseille. Albert had an arm around his wife while they spoke to sports fans.

       Other united front appearances over the last nine days also include attending a 100th-anniversary celebration of Prince Rainier III’s birth and the Princess of Monaco Cup '19th hole' event.

       This follows rumours that the couple, who married in 2011, were living apart and only see one another by appointment or for ceremonial reasons.

       The flurry of appearances is out of character for Charlene, who previously had not been spotted in Monaco for months.

       The former Olympic swimmer spent 10 months in South Africa in 2021 for a supposed ear condition. When she returned, Albert said it was clear she was “unwell and overwhelmed” and was unable to “face official duties, life in general or even family life”.

       The couple recently holidayed together with their two children but Princess Charlene reportedly did not return with her family and now lives in Switzerland.
