Skiing partner visits injured prince
Wednesday 22 February 2012

The friend out skiing with Dutch prince Johan Friso when he was hit by an avalanche last Friday has visited the prince in hospital. Friso remains on the critical list.

Florian Moosbrugger has known the royal family for years and works as a chef at the Gasthof Post hotel in Lech where the family always stays, news agency ANP reports.

Moosbrugger was wearing an airbag when the avalanche hit and was able to free himself and raise the alarm. Friso wore a helmet but no bag and was under the snow for upwards of 15 minutes.

Moosbrugger was accompanied by Friso's wife Mabel and brother Constantijn during the visit on Tuesday evening.

No more news on Friso's condition is due until the end of this week.
