The princess, 46, held a bouquet of red and pink flowers as she arrived at the ‘Disco Bal de la Rose Monaco’, presented by Christian Louboutin, with her husband Prince Albert.

The mother-of-two notably skipped the glitzy gala last year, when Albert was joined by his sister, Princess Caroline of Hanover.

But Charlene returned in style to the Rose Ball on Saturday night, brandishing her typically chic style in a sparkling silver and pink jumpsuit.

Her swimsuit had a plunging neckline, with bright pink and silver stripes and a fabric bow around her waist.

The princess opted for long, dangling earrings for the occasion and kept her blonde hair straight in her signature bob style.

Charlene also carried a small matching purse and had her toenails painted black, peeking out from under the baggy pants of her open-toed heeled jumpsuit.

Albert also dressed to impress in a classic black tuxedo, elegantly complemented by a dark pink bow tie.

Princess Caroline was also present, opting for a sparkly black dress and holding a bouquet of flowers in different shades of pink.

Charlene and Albert’s appearance at the Rose Ball comes after a humiliating scandal over the House of Grimaldi’s spending habits, which are dazzling even by lavish Monte Carlo standards.

The dispute erupted after Prince Albert fired his trusted accountant, Claude Palmero, who for two decades had managed the family’s finances.

The despised Palmero, who was fired after allegations of financial irregularities at the Palace were published on an anonymous website, has proven to be considerably less affable than he first appeared.

Excerpts from five of their black-bound notebooks, densely written and containing surprising details about the Grimaldis’ spending habits, have found their way into the hands of the French media and the respected French newspaper Le Monde.

Among the most sensational revelations, according to Le Monde, are the spending habits of Albert’s wife, Princess Charlene, a former swimmer who as Charlene Wittstock represented South Africa at the Sydney Olympics in 2000.

Palmero’s notebooks record that despite her generous allowance of £1.2 million a year, the princess, mother of Albert’s nine-year-old twin children, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, has been repeatedly bailed out. .

This includes a payment of £60,000 before they married in 2011. It was widely reported that she was scared before the ceremony and had even booked a plane ticket back to South Africa.

Charlene also carried a small matching purse and had her toenails painted black, peeking out from under the baggy pants of her open-toed heeled jumpsuit.

Mr Palmero’s notebooks show that on one day in April 2016, the princess received £70,000 in cash, “less than the previous year, but still too much”, and in 2017 there was £500,000 “to pay her overdraft”.

Two years later, the speed with which Princess Charlene was apparently burning through money so worried the prince’s accountant that he wrote in his notes: “It’s crazy!” I have no control over the princess’s expenses.

In 2020, Palmero recorded an additional ‘one-off payment’ of £171,000, plus £4,200 in cash.

It is suggested that Charlene, who was raised on the outskirts of Johannesburg by her father, a photocopier salesman, and her mother, a swimming coach, invested almost £2 million renovating a holiday home in Corsica and redecorating her office.

The notebooks also show that she rented another house in Corsica and spent time there separated from Albert.
