Prince Frederik of Luxembourg, aged 22, has tragically passed away due to a rare genetic condition known as POLG mitochondrial disorder. The royal family confirmed his death, marking a somber moment for the nation and the extended European royal circles. POLG disorder, which impacts the mitochondria, can lead to severe neurological issues and has no cure, making Frederik's case particularly poignant.

His family expressed their deep sorrow, noting his bravery and the joy he brought into their lives despite his health challenges. The Luxembourg royal household released a statement appreciating the support and condolences from around the world, emphasizing Frederik's impact and the awareness he brought to the rare condition.

This loss has sparked conversations about genetic research and the need for increased awareness and funding for rare diseases. The royal family has pledged to continue supporting initiatives aimed at understanding and potentially treating such conditions in the future, in honor of Prince Frederik's memory.
