Albert married South African Olympic swimmer Charlene Wittstock in July 2011 and the couple welcomed twins, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, in December 2014. Jacques is the heir apparent to the throne.
Princess Charlene, 43, shared some photos of her reunion with her husband and their children in South Africa last week after recovering from a four-hour operation.
She has remained in the country since May after she came down with an ear-nose-throat (ENT) infection. She has been unable to return to Monaco since then and missed her tenth wedding anniversary with Prince Albert in July.
The snaps shared to her Instagram account showed her cuddling up to her husband, while others showed Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella beaming as they climbed trees.
