Good God but that was quick. I thought that he was going to be out of action for at least a month. ?

I`m pleased to see the King back on duty so soon after such a serious accident, a fine riposte to his rat-bag critics who seemed more concerned with the welfare of a dead elephant, than the health and well being of their rightfull Sovereign.

More surgery for Juan Carlos. !!

He had to undergo another hip surgery on Thursday according to the royal palace. It appears that he accidently dislocated his right hip, which was still healing from the hip replacement he underwent on April 14th.

Sounds very painful Doña Breffney!

It always intrigues me what public officials are saying when they make small talk. Could a Spanish speaker very kindly translate that for me? What were they chatting about?

Queen Sofia is in Washington to celebrate Miguel Urdangarin birthday

It sure does, An Ard Ri, plus another general anesthetic (I assume) not long after the last one. !!

I'm sure that the Urdangarin children must miss their grandparents, especially Sofia, their cousins and Spain itself.

It will be interesting to see if Cristina brings them back to the family summer home this year.

Absolutley Doña Breffney,but I doubt we will see the Palma family in Spain anytime soon :sad:

How sad for all the family. :sad:

Yes it is but at least the Queen is getting to see her grandchildren in Washington and I'm sure will continue to do so.

I'm sure she will, An Ard Ri. I just wish that she didn't have to do all the travelling. Then again, she might be glad to get away from all the Spanish media gossip surrounding the family.
