After his wedding to Prince Albert Charlene addressed as Her Serene Highness The Princess of Monaco. She says it has taken her time to get into his new role - and she constantly get asked what it is like to be a princess - and what it actually means.
- I had no idea so I looked it up in a dictionary, says Charlene and bursts into one of his many hearty laughter .
Today, she feels that she has begun to find its new role. She has learned to live with constantly being heavily backed - and how to find their private sphere.
She has also discovered that the princely title makes it possible to reach out - for example in the work of her primary concern: to teach people how to swim.
Do you know that there are four million people who drown each year. You can look it up if you do not believe me, she says with a determined voice.
A shocking figure that made her decided to help with all the powers she had. Charlene, who after all have a career as an elite swimmer behind, founded the Foundation Princess Charlen of Monaco Foundation. and for a few weeks, took one of her first major Lear to Swim-project basis - a swimming school in Agadir in Morocco. She chose Agadir because Charlene was there with his brother and surfed and was told that no fewer than three children had drowned in just a few hours.
More swimming lessons are going and the Foundation will also support the existing swimming lessons and work for more lifeguards on the beaches. They are also working to spread information about the importance of not leaving children unattended when water - and set up protection around pools, so that small children can fall in.
We want to help save lives and make people aware of the importance of water safety.
Charlene says that it was especially an event that caused her to act.
-My doctor's daughter had adopted two small children, two and four years, from Madagasgar and I was home and greeted them. Two-year-old running around the pool and I told them that you have to make the pool safe for children. That it just enough to be looking away for a moment so the danger is there.
-Three months later I received a call that the little girl had drowned. I went to the funeral and felt both excited and sad.
This event, together with the fact that Charlene's own cousin drowned, she decided to act. And often you will find the princess in the pool, in the process of instructing children.
If I can help save lives, if I am with my position and role can do anything. Then I am willing to fight for it the rest of my life, says Charlene.
She has had a very natural relationship to water and she learned to swim at a very early age.
-Probably before I learned to walk!
Her mother was a swimming instructor and competed in diving. She was Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, big hope. The dream was to participate in the Olympic Games in Seoul, which unfortunately was never possible because Rhodesia was outside because of sanctions.
- I still remember how sad my mom looked as she sat in an armchair in front of the television to watch the diving competitions. it was then I promised her: "Mom, I'll do it for you."
- I was not particularly gifted but then I worked my way forward. It was a huge honor to be walking into the Olympic Stadium in Sydney.
Charlene got no medal on time, but she had reached her goal, to compete in the Olympic Games. And she did it for mom's sake. In addition, Charlene three gold medals from the world championships in swimming.
- I raced here in Stockholm too, she says happily.
By Charlene was in Stockholm was three years ago, when the Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel married.
-It was a very touching wedding and a week later it was time for me and Albert's engagement, says Charlene happily.
The next summer was their fabulous wedding, which was held for three days.
Yes, it really was a fairytale wedding, says Charlene and silent for a second.
-It was both overwhelming and intimate at the same time during the call, she returns to how much she loves her husband and how wonderful he is.
But the wedding also meant that she fully came to change the world. She became a princess with all the duties it entails.
-Sure, it's been a big change, like going from one world to another, from one life to another. I was a typical South African, a swimmer who completed my goal to compete for my country. So I meet the love of my life and may leave my past behind me. It's probably not easy for anyone, says Charlene and takes a sip from her teacup.
She and Albert met in Monaco, when Charlene was in the Mare Nostrum swimming competition. Now tell Charlene that she had to hurry back to Monaco after Princess Madeleine's wedding not to miss this year's swimming where she will hand out the trophy - the same honor price that Albert gave out to her 13 years ago.
- The next year, we became friends, and the rest we know ...
The twinkle of her blue eyes. Charlene smiling and looking very happy when she talks about her husband. A completely different picture than the one that is too often presented in the media, there is also the issue of children ever raised.
We've only been married for two years and I do not feel at all that there is no absolute rush to have children. But I do not think it will take as long, says Charlene and look nightmarish out.
Self she was born in Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, 35 years ago. The family lived in the countryside and wildlife were a natural part of young Charlene's life.
- My parents' biggest fear was enough snakes, but there were other animals like hippos who probably was more menacing.
Charlene says that she loved her life in the wilderness and to head out early at dawn to watch the wildlife.
- I really hope that I can share with you the experience to my own children. Not least because they will be able to understand me.
When she was twelve, the family, consisting of mother, Lynette, father Michael and the two younger brothers Gareth and Sean, on to South Africa where they all still live apart Charlene and brother Gareth who also settled in Monaco. Next weekend marries brother so then there will be wedding again for Charlene.
Yes, there are many weddings now, a few weeks ago, it was my best friend who got married in South Africa.
During that visit, Charlene also worked with another Learn to Swim projects in South Africa. They were for that reason that she was not in place during the coronation in Holland.
Make-up getting ready and Charlene checking the result in the mirror and give approval. Below on the street starts to fill up with people who come to get a glimpse of the splendor when the evening guests arrive.
The princess looking out of an open balcony door, out of Stockholm. There will be a short visit this time, but she says she would like to come back and maybe a little more private visit. She says that she and Albert love to travel together and that they also have in common is that they like to shop.
We are the ultimate shoppers and like to buy with us memories of different places we visit. When we were at the Elvis Graceland in Memphis we came home with a bunch of mugs and more, she laughs and adds cheerfully.
But we actually use them.
Charlene says they enjoy the sights and getting to be a bit like people in general. Take your own photos and slide into one small place to rest your legs and have a beer. She says she is glad that they are given the opportunity to the people respecting them and not bothering. Especially in South Africa, she thinks that they may be left alone.
-There can be very private, even if they recognize us.
In Europe, they are different. Charlene feel that the media distorts what they write, and they can be extremely cruel.
- I really hope that in the future we can focus on more important things and not just superficialities.
It is hoped that the platform can be changed so that she can have the ability to spread their important message in the media.
In addition to his work for his foundation and the assignments that she has with her husband, Charlene is also active in many humanitarian organizations. Growing up in Africa has meant that she engaged in both AIDS issues and the poverty that particularly affects children. She works with the Nelson Mandela Foundation, and she is an ambassador for the Special Olympics and the honorary president of the charity Ladies Lunch Monte Carlo.
In her spare time she likes to enjoy outdoor activities. Charlene loves to surf and to balance on his baddle board, and she swims several times a week. Moreover, she thinks a lot about hiking in the hills around Monaco. Many of the activities she shares with her husband.
We like to compete against each other. He has also been a sportsman. We have really fun together. And we have a wonderful relationship. I really love my husband says Charlene and I am very happy out.
What is the best thing about Albert?do wonder journalist.
-Oh gosh, she laughs. He is too nice, has a huge enormous patience and is incredibly loving and generous. He is simply a wonderful man.
Charlene and Albert divides his time between the palace in Monte Carlo and summer home La Turbie which is 20 minutes drive from Monta Carlo. There is a large yard with plenty of surrounding land and Albert and Charlene spends about four months a year there.
A wonderful place says Charlene and talks about the sheep, llamas, horses and the two elephants will soon get a new home is.
- I'll put up speakers with roaring lion, so I feel right at home!
At least three times a year, Charlene go home to South Africa and visit their loved ones and then feel during the winter months when it is high summer there.
It's the perfect time. I love to go there for Christmas and New Year. When I get home I crawl in jeans and t-shirt and meet my old friends and live as I did before.
It is time for Princess Charlene to take on the evening's gala paw which not surprisingly created of favorite designer Akris. And says she's curious about how the bride will look and tells me that her husband introduced her to Princess Madeleine seven years ago and they met several times over the years, including in New York.
Before we part, it is time to take some pictures. The gold gala outfit fit perfectly and Charlene throws himself into his chair and looks professional at the camera before it is time to hurry off to the evening banquet. She bid farewell and journalist stands for a moment and see her vanish away toward the elevator.
