March 6, 2013 Alexandra

On the morning of March 6, 2013, an “…oxygen tank explosion and fire broke out in the broiler room…” at the La Milagrosa Hospital in Madrid where His Majesty King Juan Carlos I of Spain is currently recovering from his operation last Sunday. Five people were injured according to several sources. As for His Majesty, well, he’s doing just fine and dandy. The old king was located in another section of the hospital far from the accident.

Any way, this afternoon Their Royal Highnesses Prince Felipe and Princess Letizia of Asturias along with their daughters stopped by the hospital to visit His Majesty. Thankfully, the press was there to take photos of the royal family walking into and out of the hospital. 🙂
