It is with deep sadness that we have to announce the sad news of the death of our beloved Prince George I of Seborga.

His Highness died this Wednesday morning, 25 November, at the age of 73 after a long illness.

The news of his death has shocked many friends and sympathizers of his cause around the world and expressions of solidarity and condolences are beginning to arrive in Seborga, at the local authorities and at the diplomatic posts of the Principality around the world.

Giorgio I of Seborga was declared Prince in 1963 and re-elected in 1995 by the citizens of Seborga, which for years has fought for the vindication of the independence of the Principality.
