Princess Lilian taken to hospital

Princess Lilian of Sweden, the 93 year old widow of Prince Bertil, an uncle of the present King Carl XVI Gustaf, is currently resting at the Sophiahemmet private hospital in Stockholm after an accident in her home this morning.

The Princess fell in her home, Villa Solbacken situated on Royal Djurgården in Stockholm, resulting in hurting herself and was taken to hospital. Her Court Marshal, Baroness Elisabeth Palmstierna, told Swedish press earlier today that the Princess had from what she had heard hurt her leg.

Information Secretary Annika Sönnerberg at the Royal Court’s Press and Information Department says that Lilian is okay considering the circumstances and that her age requires a thorough check-up after the accident. She has no more information about the Princess’ condition or when she will be able to go home.

Last year the Princess was involved in several incidents concerning her health. In January she was taken to Sohpiahemmet after suffering from food poisoning, in April at the King’s official birthday festivities the Princess fainted after a quick fall in blood pressure and doctors had to be called on, and in August she fell in her home and was taken to hospital where she underwent an operation for a hip fracture.
