With his wife Princess Charlene still absent from public life since her 2021 stay in a treatment facility with an ear, nose and throat infection, insiders say Prince Albert has used her disappearance to grow closer to his children and hold a family reunion.
Prince Albert’s eldest daughter Jazmin Grimaldi, 29, recently shared a picture of herself with Albert and Charlene’s seven-year-old twins, Jacques and Gabriella, and her half-brother Alexandre Grimaldi-Coste, 18, who was the product of an affair after Albert met his mother, Nicole Coste, on a flight from Nice to Paris.
Now palace sources have revealed the prince is using the fact that wife Charlene, 43, is currently out of the picture to give his kids a chance to bond and provide the twins with some support while their mum is missing in action – but Charlene’s not happy about it.
“Despite appearances of a playboy prince, Albert is a doting father to all four of his children and has been a rock for the twins while their mum is sorting out her health issues,” says a royal source.
“He thinks this is the perfect opportunity to allow his eldest two kids to bond with the twins and give them something to focus on.”

MAT RULE
Some artists specialize in doing cartoon tattoos. Others have made black-and-grey realism their forte. Mat Rule is the rare artist who has mastered both. After falling in love with traditional and black-and-grey tattooing, he decided to combine the opposing genres to create an exceptionally unique signature style. His work literally pops off the skin and reminds us of movies like "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and "Cool World" which brought cartoons into the real world. We sat down with Rule to learn how he came up with such a show-stopping style, which characters he loves tattooing most and much more.
