The extravagant lifestyle and alleged secret payments involving Monaco's Prince Albert and Princess Charlene have become the subject of blockbuster reports in the French media.
This week sees Princess Charlene of Monaco celebrating her 46th birthday, but it’s hardly a time for champagne and streamers. In fact, this is one birthday.
Prince Albert of Monaco said the allegations by Claude Palermo, a former key aide, showed the “little respect” Palermo has “for the family and the principality.”
Princess Charlene of Monaco will mark her 46th birthday today but, in light of recent revelations about the royal s spending habits, celebrations are likely to be more muted than planned.
