Updated at 10:36 a.m. ET: Prince Johan Friso, the middle son of Queen Beatrix of The Netherlands, has been buried by an avalanche in western Austria, according to a report by the Austria Press Agency on Friday.

The Dutch government says the prince was buried by an avalanche in the ski resort of Lech and has been admitted to an Innsbruck hospital where he is in the intensive care unit.
The statement said "doctors treating him describe the prince's condition as stable, but his life remains at risk."

Members of the royal family are skiing in the Austrian mountain village of Lech, which has been hit by heavy snowfall in recent days.

Prince Johan Friso, 43, is the middle son of Queen Beatrix, according to the Associated Press. His older brother is Crown Prince Willem-Alexander and his younger brother is Prince Constantijn.

Since we are all cynics thanks to CK2, we start to wonder : what were Prince Constantijn's whereabouts at the time of the avalanche? :shifty:

Checked it - it's Constantijn (the lawyer) who is a complete idiot. I heard this from several people who worked with him.
