Thanks for the news Lula, and the correction on which Alba offspring married the Hohenlohe.

You are right, it was Huescar the one who married Matilde Solis and Aliaga is the one married to the Hohenlohe lady.

Part-time isle resident dies after Thai jailing

Royal intrigue: The sudden death of Prince Hohenlohe

By Leila Fujimori

Services were held today in Spain for a European prince and part-time Hawaii resident who died earlier this month after being held in a Bangkok jail for allegedly altering his expired visa to facilitate his return to Hawaii. Jet setter Christoff "Kiko" Hohenlohe, 49, was heading back to Honolulu after a visit to Chiva-Som, a luxury spa in Thailand, to lose weight.

His Thai visa expired July 20, and Hohenlohe allegedly used a pen to change the date to July 29, the day he was to travel back to Hawaii, to avoid having to deal with immigration officials, friends said.
Immigration officials caught the alleged alteration and Hohenlohe was arrested on suspicion of forging documents, the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera reported.

Hohenlohe was in a weakened state after a significant weight loss, collapsed and was left on the jail cell floor for four hours before being taken to a hospital Aug. 5, where he possibly suffered a stroke, said Gaddo Cardini, who accompanied Hohenlohe's mother to Thailand, where she saw him the day before his collapse.

Thank you Stefanie and Purple Platinum for the media links - this subject has not been mentioned in the Italian media for nearly one week now.

The Star Bulletin article is very interesting as it mentions what could be a possible explanation for Kiko's underestimating the consequences of the alleged visa forgery in Thailand:

"Lifelong friend Dialta Alliata Di Monte Reale characterized Hohenlohe as a man "who lived in a different world -- very courteous, very nice, without worries, kind of a character -- unique nowadays, childish if you wish, like a big boy.

"He was very young for his age, never worked," she said.

"It was a silly action that drove him to death," said Alliata, an Italian princess who lives in Makiki Heights and is Cardini's sister. "

Well, you have to be really childish not to realize how tough the Thais are when it comes to correctness in entering and leaving their country. If the prince really was more than 9 days behind his visa's expiring date, he could have asked in his hotel for a contact to the embassy which deals with Liechtenstein's citizens (isn't the Swiss embassy handling these things for Liechtenstein? Like France does it for Monaco, Italy for San Marino and Spain for Andorra?) and ask the embassy to help him getting a new visa.

I don't think this would have been a problem at all! In romance literature they call a hero or heroine who behave that way a "TSTL" - "too stupid to live". Here we can see that it's not just a joke but that really bad things can happen. But rest in peace, prince Christoph.

Was he really in Thailand to loose his weight????????

Debbies · #29 08-17-2006, 02:42 PM

Apparently, yes. Judging from the photos released during the last two weeks, Kiko definitely had a weight issue. I was surprised to read that he stayed in the "diet resort" just for about a week. How culd he expect to loose so much extra weight in such a short time? I wonder what do they do in that "health center". Maybe he was in poor conditions when he was put in jail, who knows.

In addition to that, my impression is that some of these frequent-travelling jet-set people may feel protected and untouched by the troubles that "commoners" have to face everyday. They count on friends and acquaintances nearly everywhere, the right phone call to the right person is often sufficient for them to avoid long queues at immigration offices and the burdens of bureaucracy. That's possibly why they tend to underestimate the possible consequences of their actions.

Thank you Zarat, actually the caption attached to the photo of the family chapel, as well as the Italian news website Dagospia.com, say that the coffin was too big and could not fit in the chapel. Therefore it has been moved to a morgue while a new tomb is being arranged. I could not believe it upon reading Dagospia, but it is now confirmed by Olycom. Prince Kiko is unlucky even at his funeral. I do hope he is resting in peace.

You welcome Debbies!
I saw today this information about his coffin- you are right- prince has no luck -even at his funeral...
