From an article on the BBC News site:
Spanish King Juan Carlos in hip surgery after fall
"Spain's King Juan Carlos has undergone hip replacement surgery following a fall on a private trip to Botswana, the Royal Palace has said.
The king suffered a triple fracture of the hip, which the palace said was "linked to arthritis".
It said the fall in Botswana was "accidental" but gave no further details.
But the Spanish daily El Pais said the king was hunting elephants at the time.
Last November he wore sunglasses to hide an injury sustained when he was "hit by a doorknob".
Earlier this week the king's grandson, Felipe Juan Froilan, accidentally shot himself in the foot while carrying out target practice outside a family home north of Madrid."
You see, elephants really do never forget......
