Charlene of Monaco's disease never existed and the princess withdrew from public life for very different reasons than the official ones put forward by the Royal House.

This is the sensational indiscretion of Pilar Eyre on the pages of Lectura, one of the main Iberian gossip magazines specialized in real events.

Charlene, claims the journalist, would be in Dubai to recover from a badly performed cosmetic surgery that has disfigured her face.

According to Albert of Monaco and the Palace, however, the princess would be hospitalized in a clinic to recover mentally and physically from a serious ear, nose and throat infection from which she was struck last May in South Africa.

"The alleged illness of Charlene of Monaco is not a disease. There is another reason behind her retirement", claims the journalist. The intervention that would have disfigured her would have been carried out in Dubai. The Principality does not comment for the moment the news, neither confirms nor denies contributing to deepen the mystery.

Albert of Monaco's wife, after spending several months in South Africa, where according to reports from the Palace she would have risked even death, returned home, but never showed up. A few days later he announced his retirement from public life to recover from the alleged illness.
