By msnbc.com staff and news services

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.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I just came up with a good name for Tamas' first born daughter, if he ever has one.

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:

It's not so bad.  Though I'm not fond of Dairy Queen myself.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

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

I blame his wife. He should have left his spymaster in his county to uncover the plot. :(
