Hopes fade for Prince Rainier

PRINCE Rainier of Monaco’s chances of recovery are very slim, his doctors said yesterday.

He remained in “precarious” health after suffering heart, liver and kidney failure, and “hopes for a favourable outcome remain extremely weak,” said a statement signed by a medical team of five doctors.

However, “in full agreement” with the three children of the 81-year-old monarch, doctors considered “active therapy” justified for the time being.
