Princess Mabel has resigned as general director of The Elders, a think tank created by Nelson Mandela in 2007.
The organisation says the princess made the decision to step down after her husband Prince Friso was seriously injured in a skiing accident in February. The prince is in a coma and is being cared for in a London hospital.
The think tank says Princess Mabel will continue to work part-time as a senior adviser. She and the children will continue to live in London.
The princess took up the post of general director on 1 July 2008. The Elders is an independent group of global leaders working together to promote peace and human rights. The organisation is chaired by Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
