Royalty: Spanish Family's Scandal

The Infanta and Duke of Palma de Mallorca

The Spanish Royal Family is experiencing an embarrassing time as it undergoes intense scrutiny. King Carlos of Spain's one and only son in-law Inaki Urdangarin, the Duke of Palma de Mallorca who is married to the King's second daughter, the Infanta Cristina, is facing serious corruption charges involving public funds to the tune of millions of dollars. The fact that the Princess and her husband reside in Washington with their four children will not make any difference to the investigation, court hearings and  future outcome regardless of his connections.

Spain had undergone considerable political turmoil before the restoration of the monarchy in 1975. It would not be surprising to learn that members of the royal family are walking on eggshells. Please watch Tom Burridge's report right here at the BBC
