The royal, Princess Charlene of Monaco, is grieving. She took to Instagram to say goodbye to a
“dear friend” just one day after Christmas.
The royal who has been in treatment at an
undisclosed location used social media to mourn the loss of Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
Alongside
a photo with him, she wrote: “My dear friend, you will be missed. I know
that you are at our father’s side. I will always have fond memories of us. And
your laughter will remain in my heart forever. Rest In Peace.”
Her
message comes after Prince Albert gave an update on his wife ahead of the
holidays. In a statement, released on Thursday morning, the Monegasque
royal revealed that while his wife is “recuperating in a satisfactory and
reassuring manner”, she will
remain at the treatment facility she is at during the upcoming holidays.

He
said: “The Princely Palace would like to share the following information
regarding H.S.H. Princess Charlene’s health: H.S.H. Princess Charlene is
recuperating in a satisfactory and reassuring manner, although it may take a
few more months before her health has reached a full recovery.
“H.S.H.
Princess Charlene will be visited by H.S.H. Prince Albert II and Their Children
during the Christmas holidays. Once her
health is strong enough, the Princess looks forward to spending
time with the Monegasques.”
The
statement ended with the couple, who this year celebrated their tenth wedding
anniversary, asking for privacy.
“During
this period of convalescence, the Princely Couple kindly request that their
privacy and family environment remain well respected,” it read.
