Charlène’s father: Mike Wittstock speaks about her condition for the first time

Her family and fans of the Monegasque royal house have been worried about Princess Charlène’s health for months. In mid-November, her husband, Prince Albert II, confirmed that the 43-year-old was being treated in a clinic. The mother of two suffered from “mental and physical exhaustion,” said the 63-year-old to the US magazine “People”. He recently ruled out a serious illness to the French magazine.

Now, for the first time, Charlène’s father, Mike Wittstock, has spoken out and talked about his daughter’s situation. The 75-year-old told the South African magazine “You” that she was still very tired and exhausted. However, he is confident that she will master the crisis. “My daughter used to swim 20 kilometers a day. Since I know how she trained, I know that she is strong and that she will make it and come back much stronger,” said Wittstock about his daughter, who used to be a competitive swimmer was.

Charlène did not meet her father in South Africa

The 43-year-old recently had to undergo several ENT operations and spent most of the year in her native South Africa. During this time, however, he was unable to meet his daughter in person, revealed Mike Wittstock. “At our age we have to be very careful. I did not want to infect her because she had so many medical interventions. She is very susceptible,” said the 75-year-old with regard to the corona pandemic.

However, he and his wife would speak to Charlène regularly. “We talk on the phone a lot and I also talk to the twins. We have an excellent relationship,” says Mike Wittstock. Prince Albert and his sisters Caroline and Stéphanie take care of the twins Gabriella and Jacques, who will celebrate their seventh birthday on December 10th, during Charlène’s stay in the clinic. Most recently, the Princely House published photos that Albert and the children showed at.
