Sources in the Mediterranean principality say Charlene has had a terrible year as lawyers for the billionaire couple brace themselves for the court case that opens in Milan in February.
Albert, who already supports two illegitimate children, is alleged to have had a relationship with a 34-year-old Brazilian woman which resulted in a daughter in on July 4, 2005.
The claim, which his lawyers dismissed as a hoax , is particularly painful as he was dating Charlene at the time, having met the former Olympic swimmer in 2000.
Albert received a handwritten letter from the child, who is now 15, in September this year reading: ‘I don t understand why I grew up without a father, and now that I have found you, you don t want to see me.’
The glamorous card features a photo of Charlene and Albert posing in the Palace’s Hall of Mirrors with their six-year-old twins,
Princess Gabriella . The holiday photo was taken in November before Charlene debuted her buzz cut earlier this month. The mom of two looks regal in the portrait wearing an ice blue feather embroidered gown from Ralph and Russo, while Gabriella wore a Baby Dior tulle capelet dress, identified by royal blogger UFO No More, and Jacques sported a suit and bow tie.
The card, signed by Albert and Charlene, includes a message in French, English and Monagasque that reads: “May the spirit of Christmas be with you throughout the New Year/ We wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year 2021.”
