Princess Charlene Lives An Incredibly Lavish Life

High fashion might not be the only thing that keeps Princess Charlene looking good. Throughout Le Rocher, there are whispers the Monégasque royal is no stranger to plastic surgery. In the biography, "Charlene: In Search of a Princess," Arlene Prinsloo noted that, shortly after the royal wedding, "Rumors were also starting to circulate that the princess-to-be had had a bit of a nip and tuck to perfect her looks." Apparently, it has been speculated that Charlene also had "a breast augmentation, a nose job, lip enhancement, and Botox." While all this might seem like nothing more than gossip, Prinsloo says that, in Monaco, these procedures are more common than you might think. As the royal expert explained, plastic surgery is "not unusual in the new society Charlene had entered."

Of course, there is a dark side to getting work done — mainly the media attention that comes with it. In 2021, when Charlene was hospitalized with a severe ear, nose, and throat infection, the European tabloids buzzed with the possibility that the princess was trying to hide botched plastic surgery. This was particularly true after Spanish royal expert, Pilar Eyre, took to her personal blog, Lecturas, with the unverified rumor that Charlene had just undergone a procedure gone wrong in Dubai. At the time, however, Prince Albert denounced these whispers, telling People that his wife's issues weren't "related to plastic surgery or facial work at all."
