However, given the close relationship within the royal family i expect (but this a guess on my part) that she will be allowed to keep using the title Princess.

I don't think there's a Dowager-type of title here...

Princess Mabel can use the title if she so pleases.And until the case in which she might find herself with another partner,she can certainly hold to the title.But she never uses it,or used it.She always introduces simply as :"Hello,I'm Mabel".

We'll see what,or if,any changes will evolve in case off.

No,they wouldn't.

You are right, Lucien, they certainly wouldn't. And he may have had some vital organs that failed which caused his death.

I was gone on holiday all last week...imagine my surprise when I saw that Prince Friso had passed away! Oh my...

My thoughts go out to Princess Beatrix, Princess Mabel, the Countesses, King W-A and Queen Max and the extended family on this loss. I am very sad.

Is there à period of court mourning

[amaryllus]

Just out of curiosity is this the place where the ski loving royals of the world usually congregate or do the Dutch just prefer it?

No, there is no court mourning in our country.

No,it's the Dutch Royals that love it and feel home here.

In the days of Juliana and Bernhard some foreign Royals hopped over by heli for a day or more,most notable the Shah and Shahbanou who always stayed in "nearby" St.Moritz at the same time...

[COUNTESS]

Normally, it is a wonderful sport and healthy exercise. Just a horrible event.

They left out Vail CO. Many years ago I was there when Diana, William and Harry were there.

Condolences, and prayers that the Royal Family can move onward.

I was replying to the posted article which I quoted, noting one place missing. it was posted in reply to a question regarding where the royals ski.That is hardly 'polluting the thread'. I am going to assume that English is not your first language, and that you did not mean to be obnoxious to another poster.

It has been announced that the big farewell event for formerly Queen Beatrix (which was to be held in september) has been postponed due to the death of P.Friso.
More information can be found in P.Beatrix' thread...

Other than that life is returning to 'normal' for the royal family with several members attending events in the next week...

I am not that interested where it's all from,nor who wrote it,sorry....it just doesn't belong here as you certainly do understand I'm sure....I am Dutch yes,but my english is just as good as my Dutch.Perfecto!..

@ Andolini..The family will resume their duties next week again allthough the farewell party,as I wrote in the Princess Beatrix thread earlyer in the week,is postponed due to circumstances.

Princess Beatrix will attend the concert by the European Youth Orchestra here at the Concertgebouw coming wednesday and no doubt find herself in a warm bath of love,
respect and compassion.

For other itineraries please see the respective threads as Iceflower makes a point in noting everything meticulously.

Maybe we should be like the dutch royal family and move on to other threads, this is indeed no thread for skiing-with-royals tips nor for arguing about it (nor for pointing out spelling-mistakes, so i'm not going to do that (although i'm tempted ))

RIP P.Friso
