“Their Royal Highnesses Prince Willem-Alexander of Oranje and Princess Máxima of the Netherlands have invited Their Royal Highnesses Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume and Hereditary Grand Duchess Stéphanie of Luxembourg, Their Royal Highnesses Prince Daniel and Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, Their Royal Highnesses Prince Felipe and Princess Letizia of Asturias, Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, Their Royal Highnesses Princess Mathilde and Prince Philippe of Belgium and His Royal Highness Crown Prince Haakon of Norway to the Jachtslot Het Oude Loo in Apeldoorn today for a private visit.”

At this time RVD has given no reason for today’s private royal visit; however, several sources suggest that it may have something to do with Prince Willem-Alexander of Oranje’s inauguration on April 30, 2013.

His Majesty King Juan Carlos I of Spain in the Hospital Again.

King Juan IWhile his former “alleged” lover, Princess Corinna zu Sayn-Wittgenstein, is blabbing to the press about how her life has become so “unbearable” after the infamous Botswana Affair broke in the Spanish press, His Majesty King Juan Carlos I of Spain is currently recovering at home after having an “…adjustment on his left hip.” 

According to EFE, His Majesty checked into the USP San José Madrid Hospital on Wednesday after complaining about:

 “…feeling uncomfortable.  After several X-rays the doctors found that His Majesty has suffered a ‘slight dislocation’ on his left hip which was operated on last November.  The issue was resolved around noon without surgery.  He’s home now and resting.”

On Sunday, His Majesty will check into La Milagrosa Clinic where he will undergo yet another surgery for his herniated disc “…on the lumbosacral area of the spine.” 

Poor guy.  This year, so far, sure sucks for the old king.

Get better, Juan!   🙂
