The website of the Royal House:
http://www.koninklijkhuis.nl/No new bulletins this morning on the condition of Prince Friso as already was said yesterday and it will take a few more days to complete the diagnosis.His condition has not changed overnight.
What did happen,a "detail" but if confirmed a happy one is that the Prince probably does not suffer from a fractured skull nor other injuries except for being without oxygen for 20 minutes,which on itself is serious enough,very much so.
One of Friso's doctors at the Innsbruck University Hospital,Claudius Thomé,spoke with dutch lady Jannetje Koelewijn who happened to be in the hospital at the time the Prince was taken in and who's husband is a neuro-surgeon there,and Thomé told them that,no other injuries but the lack of oxygen and it is not at all clear if,and if yes,what damage that did.Mrs.Koelewijn also happens to be an editor with dutch quality paper NRC...
The resuscitation took quite a while and when found Friso's temperature was down to 32 celsius which in this case might be a positive element as the body needs less oxygen.
Late last night Friso's brothers,The Crown Prince Willem-Alexander and Princess Máxima,Prince Constantijn and Princess Laurentien and their families arrived at the hotel in Lech where HM already stays since last saturday,a week ago.
The Dutch NOS TV website keeps a constant update on Friso and the Royal Family.It also mentions HM Queen Noor of Jordan has send a message to Princess Mabel;" I think of you and pray for your whole family ".The Hashemite House of Jordan and the Dutch Royal Family are very close and dear friends.Also HM King Harald of Norway has send a message,the King is the Godfather of Prince Friso.
Please keep the Prince and Princess,HM and the entire Dutch RF in your thoughts and prayers.
Princess Mabel btw,is the CEO of The Elders,a group formed by Nelson Mandela consisting of ,ao,Jimmy Carter,former Irish president Mary McAleese,former Norwegian PM Gro Bruntland,Desmond Tutu who's aim it is to solve crisis in the Third World.Prince Friso,the most intellectual of the three brothers and the wizz kid of the family is the financial director of Urenco in the UK as well as he is involved in media and an adviser to the very successfull european low budget airline Wizz-Air .The Prince,2nd son of HM Queen Beatrix,studied Economics as well as Air & Space Sciences and did so simultaniously and Cum Laude.As he once said himself: " I dreaded sitting on a side bench and just waiting there,I want to do my own bit",and he did.He was a Senior with Goldman Sachs in London but left that post years ago.The couple lives in London from before their marriage in 2004,they love to be anonymous except for Queensday when they too attend the celebrations with the rest of the Family.Friso is not in line to the Throne as he didn't ask the governments permission to marry.Not that he's bothered. Both the Prince and Princess have always had their own jobs and earned their own accordingly.Other then Her Majesty,The Heir to the Throne and his/her spouse no-one in the Dutch RF gets an apanage,no-one,we don't do free-loaders and the RF themselves wouldn't have it any other way either.Prince Friso and Princess Mabel have two daughters,7 year old Countess Luana and 5 year old Countess Zaria. Just an update on the couple and their family.
