How sad about her dog . I hope she has health and peace for the rest of her time among us - she is such a wonderful lady and has been a big asset to the royal family.

[LadyFinn]

Magazine "S" wrote in it´s previous number (about a month ago), that princess Lilian´s condition was been worse, she has been taken from her home to Sophiahemmet hospital. According to the sources of S, the people of the court were worried that Lilian could pass away at the same time Victoria gave birth.

I'm so sad to learn of Princess Lilian's worsening condition; she is such an inseparable part of the Swedish Royal Family that it would be extremely hard to imagine the royals without her. Lilian is one plucky lady though, so I hope we'll celebrate her 100th brithday yet; after all, at 96 Princess Lilian is the oldest living member of any reigning European royal family.

As princess Lilian have Alzheimer I wouldn't want her to suffer for seveal more years, and if the disease is so advanced that she needs fulltime care at a hospice I feel very sorry for her and for the entire SRF, especially as they have already lost a family member to the disease.

Totally agree with this. I hope for her sake she absolutely does NOT linger for 4 more years.

Yes, I'm referring to queen Siliva's mother Alice Sommerlath, whether it was senile dementia or Alzheimer's disease (a kind of dementia). Her mother's illness was one reason why Silvia took the initiative to found Silviahemmet, Stiftelsen Silviahemmet - Demensvård och utbildning to train assistant nurses as specialists in dementia care.
