Belgium's Queen Paolo has undergone surgery to repair two fractures in her right arm that she suffered while vacationing with King Albert in her native Italy, the royal palace said.
She broke her arm near her wrist and the shoulder, said Michel Malherbe, the spokesman of the royal palace in Brussels. The royal couple was visiting Sicily when she broke her arm on Friday.
The Belgian queen underwent surgery Saturday at the St. Jean hospital in Brussels and planned to return to Italy to continue her vacation.
