Even though Princess Charlene isn't with her family right now as she recovers from surgery, she is trying to make the most out of her situation.

"Spending time with Jacqui and Bella making blankets for the crèche next door. Wish me luck ??," the royal captioned several photos of herself chatting with her tots via Instagram on July 9.

In the photos, Charlene is pointing to a "Save Our Elephants" poster and appeared to be sporting a shorter 'do.

Of course, people took to the comments section to send some love to Charlene, who went under the knife "to address complications from a previous operation."

One person wrote, "What a lucky crèche. Speedy recovery so you may return to your loving family again ??," while another added, "We ???????????? that your spending so much time on home soil xx just wish the kids could be with you ?."

A third user added, "You are an incredible woman!"

"It's been a trying time for me. I miss my husband and children dearly," she recently told South African News Channel24. "Albert is my rock and strength and without his love and support I would not have been able to get through this painful time."

While traveling to Africa, she underwent surgery for an ENT infection and is now recovering away from her two kids and husband Prince Albert.

"This year will be the first time that I will not be with my husband on our wedding anniversary in July, which is difficult and saddens me," she said in a statement. "However, Albert and I had no choice but to follow the instructions of the medical team, even if it was extremely difficult. He has been the most incredible support to me."

"My daily conversations with Albert and my children help me keep my spirits up a lot, but I miss their presence very much. I was lucky to have their visit to South Africa, and it was really wonderful to see them. I can't wait for us to be together," she added.
