Vienna: The Netherlands government says Prince Johan Friso spent a quiet night in the hospital but his life remains in danger after an avalanche seriously injured the Dutch royal.

The 43-year-old second son of Dutch Queen Beatrix was rushed to the intensive care unit of Innsbruck`s main hospital on Friday after he was buried by the snow slide. He had been skiing off marked trails in the westernmost Lech winter sports region.
