Queen Paola back in the hospital
20:34:00
Decidedly Queen Paola is quite unlucky in this winter 2016-2017. While she had left the Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc in Brussels on last January 3rd after a week of hospitalization following a vertebral fracture and had to continue her convalescence at her Castle Belvedere for several months, She is urgently admitted again to this hospital. The Palace announced this sad news last Thursday, February 16th 2017, stating that she had a fall and had fractured the neck of the femur. "It will be operated at the Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc in Brussels" has it just been clarified.
Sixth queen of the Belgians, the 79 year old born princess Ruffo di Calabria in Italy. Her husband, former King Albert II, ruled Belgium from 1993 to 2013, when he abdicated in favor of his eldest son, was 82 years old.
The wife of the former Belgian sovereign - who has retained in Belgium the title of queen - has had to face several health problems in recent years. In the summer of 2015, suffering from cardiac arrhythmia, Paola was forced to a total rest period . On December 28th 2016, the mother of King Philippe, Princess Astrid and Prince Laurent was hospitalized at the Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc in Brussels for a vertebral fracture following a fall. No details had been revealed as to the exact circumstances of the injury, but it had been pointed out that it had not resulted in neurological complications and that the life of the septuagenarian was not in danger.
