Emeritus-King Heinrich admitted to hospital
Today the press department of the Royal Family announced that Emeritus-King Heinrich has been admitted to the Universitätsklinikum Steglitz because of a severe heart attack. The Royal Family is with him. A press speaker of the hospital indicated that the prognosis is bad.
Emeritus-King Heinrich was born in 1871 and succeeded to the Throne in 1910. In 1950, he abdicated in favour of his son, the current King Albrecht. His abdication was an unique event in the Eiffellandian history. There were no real rules in place for that situation. Formally, Heinrich would have kept his title "King of Eiffelland" after the abdication. A change to the Constitution was needed to solve the situation. Since then, a King will carry the title "Emeritus-King" after his abdication. Emeritus-King Heinrich is the first Emeritus-King in the history of Eiffelland.
