Princess Caroline's husband Prince Ernst-August of Hanover is in intensive care after being hospitalised in Monaco for acute pancreatitis, the royal palace has confirmed.
"He is under continuous surveillance. His condition is serious and requires permanent medical attention... Biological and radiological tests as well as a scan have been carried out to determine the scope of the ailment," said an official statement.
The 51-year-old royal was admitted to Princess Grace Hospital on Tuesday, a day before the death of his father-in-law, Prince Rainier, who was at that time fighting multiple organ failure in the nearby Monaco Cardio-Thoracic Centre.
Early Friday, citing medical sources in Monaco, news agencies Reuters and Agence France Presse had reported that Prince Ernst had fallen into a coma. However, a representative for Princess Caroline has refused to comment.
Widely known for his extroverted ways, Prince Ernst, a direct descendant of King George III, wed Princess Caroline in 1999. |
