A few weeks ago, Prince Bernhard presented his newborn son,
Benjamin, to the media at the Onze Lieve Vrouwe Gasthuis. Yesterday, though, he was in the hospital for his own health issue. He is recuperating at the Academisch Medisch Centrum in Amsterdam following surgery on his intestine for a benign narrowing. Prof.dr. W.A. Bemelman performed the surgery and prof.dr. J.F. Bartelsman is his attending physician.The prince will remain in the hospital for about a week.
