Annual donation of 1.5 million euros just for Charlene. Shocking revelations of former Monaco accountant Albert.

“SAS (His Serene Highness, Editor’s notePrincess Charlene wants to buy dresses, I told her that there is no budget for that, private expenses,” writes Claude Palmero. Albert II’s former estate manager thus made explosive revelations in Armenia world , Monday January 22. And he clearly has scores to settle with Her Majesty. The accountant, who was dismissed on June 6, 2023, is particularly accused of corruption and taking illegal benefits. “I never took a cent,” replies Claude Palmero in the evening’s daily column. This is 100% denial. I am neither corrupt nor a thief (…)”.

Since his decades at the Monaco palace, the accountant has kept five notebooks with corrosive contents. They contain the smallest details of Claude Palmero’s actions, but also Prince Albert II’s responses to his requests. And if their contents are to be believed, Charlene of Monaco will be one of the biggest spenders. By: worldThe Monaco mother of twins Jacques and Gabriella would receive an annual global payout of “around €1.5 million” in 2023. In December 2019, Claude Palmero already stated that Charlene spent “around 15 million euros against a donation of 7.5 million euros”. within eight years.

“Obviously a lot”

The accountant’s notebooks are filled with the princess’s alleged excesses. The latter would begin in the first year of her affair with Albert II. “Ch. Wittstock fees. they are currently taken from the “State Budget” and it seems wrong to me,” Claude Palmero wrote in his notebook in 2010. The prince gives his consent. The following month, the estate’s administrator requested an allocation of around €700,000 to be “taken from the SAS” for Charlene Wittstock. But he hastens to add. “However, be careful not to overspend during a crisis.”

If these writings are to be believed, the expenses of the princess will only multiply. After the birth of twins Jacques and Gabriella in 2014, Claude Palmero released 683 thousand euros to celebrate the births and baptisms of children. Two years later, Charlene of Monaco reportedly asked to be paid €77,000 in cash. When he wants to rent a second villa in Corsica, the accountant writes: “Not much?” On February 1, 2017, Claude Palmero also had to pay €600,000 to compensate Princess Charlene’s overdraft. He also regrets that the expenses of the latter “far exceed the allocation”.

Expenses for his in-laws

When Charlene wants to buy a catamaran, she spells out “RUN” in all caps. And smile a little, knowing that the decoration of the former swimmer’s office is estimated at one million euros. On February 20, 2020, he further stated: “Provide Charlene’s personal account with €200,000 + €5,000 in cash.” The following year, he opposed the acceptance of a new job demanded by Albert II’s wife. He emphasizes that the latter already has more than “8 people in its service”, more than “it has ever been”. Not to mention what the princess spends to support her in-laws. On 14 December 2022, he stated that he had paid €300,000 to Sean Wittstock, Charlene’s brother, “for his house”. Before correcting, after a week. “Sean W. It is 3 × 300,000 euros. A sum for which Albert II gave his consent.

Employees in an irregular situation

Another problem, according to Claude Palmero. employees are in an irregular situation. In 2012, she wrote that “the HSR princess is forcing people to work that don’t fit.” In particular, he claims that the princess’s personal chef is paid 300 euros per day and that these funds are not declared. “This practice is dangerous,” he warns in his notebook. Among these illegal workers there would also be “a Filipina woman under the table who ties dogs in the shower”. But also “an illegal alien for five years who would have a one-month tourist visa and would never return to the Philippines.” “They pay him 100 euros a day, which is insignificant,” explains the accountant.

Managers hired by Charlene of Monaco would be among those employees. “They are not only in an illegal situation, but also entered with a fake passport,” writes Claude Palmero. Elsewhere, after the birth of the twins, he emphasizes. “Talk about hiring nannies… We’re totally illegal (even their tourist visas expired on January 7th).

In this stunning article, the accountant also mentions the “secret payments” that Albert II allegedly made to his former mistresses and illegitimate children, as well as the alleged estrangement of Princesses Caroline and Charlene. Moreover, the royal family is not immune to new revelations. The article world is actually the first in a series of four, all devoted to the contents of these secret notebooks.
