Prince Frederik of Luxembourg dies at 22: 'He left with one last joke'

The Luxembourg Royal Family has been shaken by the death of Prince Frederik on March 1. Frederik, the youngest child of Prince Robert and Princess Julie, had been battling a rare genetic disorder known as POLG. This condition is a hereditary disorder that typically affects the brain, nerves, muscles, and liver.

In announcing his son's death, Prince Robert said, "On February 28, Rare Disease Day, Frederik called us into his room, and we had the opportunity to speak with him one last time. He found the strength and courage to say goodbye to each of us." Frederik said his farewells to his siblings, Alexander and Charlotte, as well as other family members.

Prince Robert noted that his son did not lose his sense of humor even in his final moments, stating, "Frederik left us by making one last family joke that we all knew." Emphasizing the special bond Frederik had with his mother, Prince Robert shared that one of his son's final questions was, "Dad, are you proud of me?" He added that these words showed that Frederik had found peace in his short but full life.

The royal family is in deep mourning over the loss of the young prince. The courage and loving personality that Frederik displayed throughout his life will always be remembered by his family and loved ones.
