"She didn't leave Monaco in a huff! She didn't leave because she was mad at me or at anybody else. She was going down to South Africa to reassess her Foundation's work down there and to take a little time off with her brother and some friends," he told People. 

"She didn't go into exile. It was absolutely just a medical problem which had to be treated," he continued.

"Misreading events is always detrimental. We're an easy target, easily hit, because we're in the public eye a lot."
