IN THE nearly 10 years since she’s been a member of one of the world’s most intriguing and glamorous royal families, she’s become a style icon, famous for her sleek hairdos and chic outfits.
So when she debuted a daring new hairdo it caused quite a stir.
Here was Princess Charlene sporting a style unlike anything we’ve seen on her before – an “undercut pixie”, as the Monaco Tribune called it, with part of her head shaved, longish bangs and a strip at the back.
It was, as one stylist put it, part mohawk, part edgy elf.
The bold new ’do caused waves around the world and Her Serene Highness – who celebrates her 43rd birthday on 25 January – revealed to YOU the motivation behind her avantgarde visit to the stylist.
“It was Covid and lockdown with no work and no travel obligations,” she said. “I felt it was the perfect time to experiment and have a bit of fun with my hair.”
Yet there’s plenty of speculation that the hairstyle is more than a welcome spot of frivolity – some have termed it “an act of rebellion” on her part as yet another major scandal hits the House of Grimaldi.
There have even been reports that Charlene is “nearing a nervous breakdown” and “having a terrible time” following dramatic developments late in 2020.
A woman emerged from the woodwork to claim that Prince Albert, who’s supporting two children born out of wedlock, had fathered yet another illegitimate child and has been called on to take a DNA test.
A court case is scheduled for February in Milan, Italy.
