The mother-of-two opened up about life as an Olympian before she married into Monaco’s Princely family

Princess Charlene stepped out with Prince Albert today, just days after the Princess of Monaco made a heartbreaking admission.

On Thursday, the Prince and Princess of Monaco took part in Monaco’s annual Red Cross Christmas giveaway.

Charlene, 46, looked typically stylish in an off-white sleeveless blazer paired with sleek black trousers and a roll-neck blouse.

The festive outing came just days after Charlene opened up about life as an Olympian before she married into Monaco’s Princely family.

The Zimbabwean-born royal was a successful swimmer before she retired from the professional sport in 2007.

Four years later, she tied the knot with her husband, Prince Albert II of Monaco.

“I walk, I cycle, I swim too, but not as much as before,” she told Gala Magazine.

“I don’t practise swimming as intensely as in the past. When I was young, I trained very hard, I challenged myself physically. These days, it’s all about moderation.”

Reflecting on her ambition and drive, Charlene made a heartbreaking admission: “It can be quite difficult because my nature is to want to beat records, win medals and surpass my limits.

But, at nearly 47 years old, I can no longer do that… my body won’t let me.

“My spirit and my heart might, but my body says no!”

Since marrying Prince Albert in 2011, the couple have welcomed twin children, Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques, who turn 10 next month.

During her interview with the outlet, the royal spoke about the pair’s “curious” personalities.

“The conversations I have with Jacques and those with Gabriella are so different, as well as the time spent with them,” she explained.

She asks lots of questions and demands a lot of attention.

“As for Jacques, he is curious and observant. More reserved, he is naturally very calm.”

The mother-of-two added that it was “difficult to find time to spend one-on-one time with them”.
