  • Stuck in South Africa due to an ENT infection, Princess Charlene has faced divorce rumours – but this time it’s Prince Albert’s fashion designer ex making headlines
  • Coste said in an interview that she was shocked by her son Alexandre’s room being changed before Albert and Charlene’s royal wedding in 2011

Prince Albert of Monaco told French magazine Point de Vue on Thursday, November 4, he was “furious” after Nicole Coste, the mother of his eldest son Alexandre, alleged that his now-wife Princess Charlene moved the child into their home’s employee wing before their royal wedding in 2011.

Coste, who met Albert while working as a flight attendant in 1997, gave birth to Alexandre in 2003, according to the BBC.

Alexandre, now 18, was formally recognised in 2005 after French publication Paris Match published photos of him in Prince Albert’s arms. The prince put out a statement via his lawyer saying he “has and will continue to face up to his responsibilities” of being the boy’s father, The New York Times reported at the time.

In an interview she gave to Paris Match in September, Coste said her relationship with Albert has been “built on trust” and that he honoured his commitment to “be present” from the start of Alexandre’s life, gradually bringing him into his family.

Charlene’s ongoing ENT infection has kept her from returning from her home country of South Africa to Monaco since May, which caused speculation about the state of her and Albert’s relationship. Albert denied any rumours of a rift in an interview with People magazine in September, later telling the publication how he and their children look forward to her return.
