"I don't understand all these rumors, which hurt me, about us," he admitted. "That she lives elsewhere. Lives in Switzerland. That we meet only by appointment. They're lies."

Albert noted that Charlene "had some difficulties many months ago" — likely referring to her mysterious illness that resulted in her needing "multiple surgeries" — before noting, "now, thank goodness, she's over it and is always by my side."

Albert and Charlene first announced their engagement in 2010 and tied the knot on July 1, 2011, in Monaco. Three years after their lavish nuptials, they welcomed their twin son and daughter.

"They are magnificent, adorable, I am madly in love with them," Charlene said at the time.

Albert spoke with Italian outlet Corriere della Serra about the rumors.
