Bavaria: Franz Duke of Bavaria in the hospital

Munich (dpa / lby) - Franz Duke of Bavaria is in the hospital. But you are not worried, said a spokeswoman for the 89-year-old on Wednesday in Munich. "He'll be home soon and busy." The Munich "Abendzeitung" had previously reported on it. It said the 89-year-old was on the mend. "He survived everything well and is fine," the newspaper quoted the Munich office as saying. There was no further information.

The Wittelsbacher would actually rather not have made his stay in the clinic public, his office told the newspaper. "But it's no secret either," it said. Franz Duke of Bavaria is head of the noble house of Wittelsbach and great-grandson of the last Bavarian king, Ludwig III. On July 14 he celebrates his 90th birthday.
