“Eruptions under the gilding”. according to recent revelations, Carolina of Monaco hates Princess Charlene

It’s a bombshell that the paper’s investigation just dropped on the Rock The world . In four major installments released slowly from Monday 22 January, investigative journalists Gérard Davet and Fabrice Lohm have collected many explosive revelations from the former manager of Albert II of Monaco’s estate, tarnishing the reputation of the princely family. Claude Palmero, who is accused of corruption and taking illegal benefits and was removed from office on June 6, 2023, reveals everything he knows. Because during his years in Her Majesty’s service, the latter had privileged access to the halls of the Palace, where the darkest secrets were whispered. Secrets he archived in five notebooks, the contents of which have now been revealed.

Albert II’s former accountant, who at the end of November 2023 filed a complaint against members of the royal family to answer their accusations, thus revealing the irregular situations of the Rock’s employees, the prince’s secret payments; his children are illegitimate, as well as his ex-mistress, the excessive spending of the Monaco princesses, and the quarrels between them. According to him, Caroline of Monaco will thus fulfill her sister Charlene Wittstock.

Tension

“To listen,” adds the former property manager The world, the enmity between the two women would actually be known to all family members. “Caroline hates Charlene, their outbursts sometimes sound under the gilding,” writes the daily newspaper, quoting Claude Palmero. Charlene of Monaco, for her part, “would especially not have heard of Nicole Coste, the mother of Alexandre Grimaldi Coste, the illegitimate son of Albert II of Monaco.

Over the years, the former accountant in turn made some enemies in high places. Among them is the aforementioned Charlene of Monaco, who would look down on the “financial restraints” previously imposed by the estate’s former manager. But also princesses Caroline and Stephanie, who would protest against the latter’s “excessive influence”. It is often said that rivals bond through adversity. So maybe these new revelations will allow the Housewives to reconcile…
