Oops! Princess Margriet Takes a Spill at Ice Rink Charity Event, Breaks Arm
Dutch princess Margriet takes tumble on ice rink, fracturing arm - Dutch Princess Margriet slips on the ice, fracturing her arm.
Got a bit slippy for Dutch Princess Margriet (82), who took a tumble on an ice rink last Sunday and came away with a broken upper arm. The dramatic incident happened during a charitable event at the Thialf ice rink in Heerenveen, Friesland, as confirmed by Dutch news agency ANP.
The aunt of our reigning King Willem-Alexander was skating for a good cause, which was collecting donations for a research foundation dedicated to lymphatic cancer. And it seems she was well-equipped for the ice—our princess was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. Prince Bernhard, her son, was swiftly on the scene.

At the Thialf Ice Rink in Heerenveen, Princess Margriet was participating in the Hollandse 100 charity event, which she had chosen to support due to its focus on lymphatic cancer research. Unfortunately, an unfortunate accident occurred during her ice skating, resulting in a fracture of her upper arm. Despite this setback, it was reported by ANP that her condition is currently stable, and she will recover at her residence, Het Loo House. Notably, her son, King Willem-Alexander, swiftly arrived at the scene, and he is strongly connected to the cause, being the chairman of the Lymph&Co foundation, a role he assumes after his personal battle with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
