Her husband Prince Albert had the coronavirus and got into another paternity row, then lockdowns and travel bans led to a downscaled Christmas – no wonder Charlene lives up to her nickname ‘sad princess’
Princess Charlene of Monaco might have described 2019 as an “incredibly painful year”, explaining how it was hard to smile at times, but it seems that 2020 was not much better, with blow after blow hitting her and the royal family.
