She was suffering from an abdominal infection and “her condition continued to worsen”, the Bureau of the Royal Household said in a statement, until she “passed away peacefully” on Thursday evening.
The princess was taken to hospital in December 2022, after she collapsed from a heart condition and other infections. She had been in a coma ever since.
After years of treatment, doctors discovered a stomach infection that led to inflammation in her intestines in April, causing her blood pressure to fall and her heartbeat to become irregular.
She had been given medicine and medical devices had been deployed to support her lungs and kidneys, but her health continued to decline, the palace said on May 21.
