Luxembourg Mourns the Loss of Prince Frederik at Age 22

Prince Frederik, son of Prince Robert of Luxembourg, passed away from a rare genetic disorder after a lifetime of courage and resilience.

Prince Frederik of Luxembourg died on March 7, 2025, at the age of 22 due to complications from POLG, a rare mitochondrial disease.
POLG, a genetic mutation, disrupts cellular energy production, leading to organ failure; Frederik was diagnosed at age 14 after years of symptoms.
Frederik's father, Prince Robert, shared a heartfelt tribute, describing his son as a 'superhero' known for his humor, emotional intelligence, and compassion.
In his final moments, Frederik gathered his family to say goodbye, leaving them with wisdom, kindness, and even a joke, exemplifying his enduring spirit.
Frederik co-founded a foundation dedicated to researching POLG and finding a cure, reflecting his commitment to helping others facing similar challenges.
