Prince Frederik of Luxembourg died at the age of 22 last month from a rare genetic disorder.

The young royal passed away on Feb. 28 after a long battle with PolG, a genetic mitochondrial disease that inhibits the body’s ability to produce energy, and can lead to organ failure.

Frederik was born with the disease but was only diagnosed at 14 , when it had developed into a more acute stage and symptoms began to present themselves.
