These reports in the French publication Royalaute have been strongly denied by the palace so far.
A royal spokesman said the couple “officially denied the malicious rumors spread by the magazine”.
The pair have appeared together at a number of events in recent weeks, including a memorial service for Prince Rainier, Albert’s late father, earlier this month.

Prince Albert recently appeared without his wife at the Rose Ball in Monaco this past week.
Albert, son of the late Princess Grace Kelly, whose marriage to the Grimaldi Royal shocked the world, seemed to dismiss the split rumors as he told Hello! magazine about how his wife was heavily involved in restoration work at the royal palace.

South Africa-born Charlene married Albert in 2011 in a £53m ceremony that has been dubbed ‘the biggest party in 55 years’.

During the ceremony, they exchanged 18-carat white gold platinum rings by Cartier.
