I have no doubt you read a lot and that you are multi-lingual, which is both edifying and admirable. Nor do I disagree that Laurent has a somewhat turbulent history but, I do disagree with the
"facts".
From the time of his admission to hospital there was concern which only deepened when he was moved to ICU and put in an induce coma. At that time there was no discussion about his mental state let alone his
"well documented history of very serious emotional problems". These "problems" etc. only came to the fore when there was no news, i.e. Laurent's condition was unchanged.
The longer he was in a coma the more the media speculated, firstly referring alluding to the absence of his parents and how callous they were to stay away. Then came further accounts of the dusfunconal relationship between them. As more time passed the discussion segued to his family problems and his (alleged) unacceptable behaviour within the family. The details were mostly vague allusions to "embarassing" his family, etc. All very serious. All very non-specific and from sources who largely remained anonymous.
No mention of suicide attempts were made until he came out of his coma, and then the media had a license to print money. Any and all ugly rumours were swirling around and, since Laurent was recovering, they could and did speculate to their hearts content, which the could not do before.
Why you ask? Well, it wouldn't look good if they went off on a tear about his possible suicide attempt, etc. and then he died. No, once he was on the mend they could say what they wanted and they have.
As to how it was handled by the Court, well that is down to Queen Paola's extroadinary press release which did not come from the within the Court. But nothing that was or was not said from the Court means
"it would not be at all unreasonable to conclude that there might be more to Laurent's hospitalization than pneumonia". Especially since that "more" was a suicide attempt.
Are the BRF exempt from medical privacy? I don't think so and I still hold with my previously stated belief "that had their been any '
credible evidence' to support these rumours it would have surfaced when he was in a coma.[/B] It would also be headline material. But it is not and, not surprisingly, there remains no credible evidence to support it as all those upstanding sources are not willing to be personally quoted. Funny that!
