Princess Charlene of Monaco exudes glamor in a bridal gown-inspired gown as she attends a ball with husband Prince Albert – after worrying about not appearing in public for a month
Princess Charlene of Monaco made her first appearance in more than a month when she attended the 74th annual Red Cross ball with husband Prince Albert last night.
The royal, 45, exuded glamor alongside her husband, 65, in a white dress with a fitted waist and long sheer sleeves at the Sporting Club Salle des Etoiles in Monte Carlo last night.
She elevated her bridal-inspired ensemble with dramatic diamond earrings and a chic white handbag.
The royal couple were also joined by Prince Albert’s niece, Camille Gottlieb, who stunned in a purple dress.
Prince Albert looked smart in a white blazer which he paired with navy trousers and a red bow tie.

The Red Cross of Monaco was founded in 1948 by Prince Albert’s grandfather Prince Louis II of Monaco and the first ball was held that same year, becoming one of the largest charity galas in the world.
Charlene sparked curiosity earlier this month when she was absent from Wimbledon, meaning she was out of the public eye for about three weeks.
Albert was caught in the tennis tournament next to Charlene’s close confidante Melanie-Antoinette Costello de Massy.
He said the assistant is considered a source of “fundamental support” to the Monaco royal family Vanity Fair Spain.
The 38-year-old, daughter of Prince Albert’s niece Elizabeth, is said to have been at Charlene’s side during her recent return to the spotlight after a bout of illness and treatment for ‘exhaustion’.
In January, Charlene seemed relaxed when she attended a mass with Melanie-Antoinette.

And Prince Albert II’s once-removed first cousin was pictured by his side during engagements in 2021, when Charlene was abroad for medical treatment.
She has accompanied him to events dating back to the 2010s. It seems she has taken over the role from her mother Elizabeth, who was herself an important confidante.
This was despite a complicated family history, including rumors that Melanie-Antoinette’s late grandmother Antoinette de Monaco, Baroness de Massy, had hatched a plan to dethrone her brother Prince Rainier – Prince Albert’s father – through vicious rumors that he had no heir.
Melanie-Antoinette was once again at Prince Albert’s side at Wimbledon – a fact that only emphasized Princess Charlene’s absence.

Charlene was noticeably quiet on social media as the couple celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary on July 1.
There has been speculation for years about Charlene’s well-being and her relationship with Prince Albert.
They have been hit by rumors of division on multiple occasions, including earlier this year when French magazine ROYAUTÉ claimed the pair were in the process of divorcing.
However, the palace quickly hit back and denied the claims.
A spokesman said: ‘I would like to formally deny the malicious rumors spread by the French magazine Royauté. Please ignore this article which is totally baseless.”
