Princess Charlene makes first public appearance with Prince Albert after surgery

Princess Charlene of Monaco made her first public appearance on Saturday months after she underwent surgery in her native country South Africa.

The Princess was photographed with her husband Prince Albert and their twins Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques at the Monaco E-Prix.

This is the first time Princess Charlene was spotted in public with Prince Albert since November last year.

In March, Princess Charlene returned to the principality after months-long medical treatment abroad, according to her palace.

"In accordance with her doctors and while her recovery is going well, their royal highnesses have agreed together that Princess Charlene can now continue her convalescence in the principality with her husband and their children," a palace statement said.

Zimbabwean-born Charlene, 44, spent some 10 months in South Africa last year, after contracting a serious sinus infection.

After returning to Monaco last November, Charlene almost immediately left and went to Switzerland to receive treatment for 'exhaustion'.
