From the Daily Mail...
The Duke of Kent has been taken to hospital after suffering a suspected dislocated hip.
Buckingham Palace said the Queen’s cousin had injured himself while staying at the Balmoral estate in Scotland on Saturday.
The 79-year-old - who suffered a ‘mild’ stroke in 2013 - was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.
The Duke of Kent, 79, who is the Queen's cousin, was admitted to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in Scotland with a suspected dislocated hip after injuring himself while staying at the Balmoral estate for the Easter weekend
Despite his age, the Duke still undertakes a large number of royal engagements and as president of the All England Lawn Tennis Club he has presented trophies to Wimbledon champions.
He became the Duke of Kent at just six when his father died in a wartime flying accident in 1942.
The duke is the son of Prince George, the younger brother of King George VI and King Edward VIII.
Balmoral Castle in Royal Deeside, Aberdeenshire, has been one of the residences for members of the British Royal Family since 1852.
It is not known how the Duke injured himself but he was taken to hospital from Balmoral Castle in Royal Deeside, Aberdeenshire, which has been one of the residences for members of the Royal Family since 1852
The original castle and estate was bought privately by Prince Albert. It is owned by the royal family, but it is not the property of the crown.
Last night, a palace spokesman said: ‘I can confirm that the Duke of Kent was admitted to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in Scotland for treatment of a hip injury.’
In March 2013, the Duke of Kent was taken to University College Hospital in London after suffering a ‘mild’ stroke, also known as a transient ischaemic attack.
