    The former Olympic swimmer has been out of the spotlight for almost a year, with a “medical emergency” prompting her to take an extended leave of absence, which also meant she missed their wedding anniversary last year.

    Following a stay at a treatment facility outside of Monaco, Princess Charlene is said to be recovering well and as a result has returned to royal duties.

    Her disappearance and return have been surrounded by controversy however, with speculation of marital issues and French magazine Voici even reporting that Prince Albert paid Princess Charlene £10 million a year to resume her role and appear with him at public functions.

    Princess Charlene has been making an effort to quash all speculation of marital problems, and released a statement last month.

    "I still find it regrettable that certain media peddle such rumours about my life, my relationship. Like everyone else, we are human beings and like all human beings we have emotions, weaknesses, only our family is exposed to the media and the slightest weakness is relayed."
