Princess Charlene rocks a fresh new look at she finally reunites with Prince Albert and children in South Africa, after 4 months away from Monaco – but will she ever return?

- Princess Charlene of Monaco contracted an ear, nose and throat infection in May after a conservation trip to South Africa went awry, and she’s been stuck there since
- Her husband Prince Albert is embroiled in a paternity scandal, but will cute family photos with Princess Gabrielle and Prince Jacques help quash divorce rumours?

Albert and their children, Gabriella and Jacques, are currently in South Africa visiting as part of Charlene’s recovery. The visit follows a statement from the palace saying Charlene would undergo a four hour procedure in August under general anaesthetic.

“Gabriella decided to give herself a haircut! Sorry my Bella I tried my best to fix it,” she wrote.

Paris Match reported that, despite the royal family standing firm about the medical emergency, Charlene had “no intention” of returning to Monaco. The French publication said that Charlene had even been looking for homes in Johannesburg.
But the palace and Charlene’s family and friends have denied this. Charlene has also spoken about how she misses her family, and certainly projects the image of a mother missing her children and a wife longing for her husband on Instagram.

But why is the reunion such a big deal?
