Prince Albert II said in November that his wife "was clearly exhausted, physically and emotionally", and had been admitted to a specialized establishment.
Since then, Charlene of Monaco has not reappeared in public.
The 43-year-old princess nevertheless shared an unconventional greeting card on her Instagram account on Tuesday, December 21.
The former professional swimmer appears there ... in the form of a drawing alongside her husband and her twins Jacques and Gabriella, 7 years old.
An unusual choice, because the clan usually opts for a family photo.
"I wish you all a very safe and beautiful holiday season, with all my love," Charlene of Monaco wrote in the caption of her post.

Jacques and Gabriella's birthday
In this illustrated greeting card, the Monaco family are standing near a decorated Christmas tree, at the foot of which are packages.
A third gift is placed in front of Charlene of Monaco, wearing a golden dress with an embroidered bodice.
The drawing could be inspired by a photograph of the clan, as it had already been the case on its map of 2017. It could however be a fallback solution, due to the prolonged absence of the princess and of his remoteness.
Prince Albert II had indeed specified in an interview with
Monaco-Matin
that his wife had to be treated from a distance.
"For reasons of confidentiality, it had to be outside Monaco," he stressed.
Since then, the princess has emerged from the silence to celebrate the 7th birthday of her twins.
“Happy birthday my babies.
Thank God for blessing me with such wonderful children.
I am truly blessed.
I love you, ”she wrote on Instagram on December 10, signing“ Mom ”.
