Centuries ago, ancestors of the Grimaldi family bullied a young girl. In vengeance, she transformed into a witch and cast a terrifying curse upon their entire lineage, decreeing that the descendants of the Grimaldi family would forever be denied the blessings of marriage. This Grimaldi family is none other than the presentday royal family of Monaco. Though this obscure legend should have been lost to the passage of time, it resurfaced repeatedly due to the sudden death of the former Princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly, at the age of 52. As Grace's son, the current Prince of Monaco, Albert II, entered matrimony at the age of 53, those who remembered this legend couldn't help but worry for his bride, Charlene. Can she break this millenniumold curse with her happiness?

On July 1, 2011, celebrities gathered in front of the Monaco Palace, shining with starlight, as hundreds of guests witnessed an unknown South African swimming champion become the Princess of Monaco. The bride, Charlene, like the previous Princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly, possessed unparalleled beauty and a successful career. She had represented the South African swimming team at the Sydney Olympics, achieving a commendable fifth place. Being 20 years younger than Prince Albert, she instantly became the princess of the Principality of Monaco upon marriage. Prince Albert, a superrich magnate, spared no expense on her, and the royal duties were minimal. With the arrival of adorable twins after marriage, Charlene's life should theoretically have been smooth sailing. However, over a decade has passed, and Charlene, often adorned with expensive jewelry and haute couture, seems to be losing her smile, with happiness seemingly drifting farther away from her. Various media outlets collectively view her marriage pessimistically. Many even say that Charlene is the Monaco version of Princess Diana. So, what exactly happened? Today, we will dissect several aspects of why Charlene is not happy.
