The King fell off the stage after making a speech in Barcelona last night.
King Juan Carlos made an embarrassing trip in the gala dinner for The Circle of Catalan Businessmen last night.

At the end of his speech, in which he praised the business infrastructure in Cataluña and its contribution to the Spanish economy, the monarch started to walk down some steps on the stage and lost his balance.

Fortunately one of his bodyguards was close at hand and the King was unhurt.
