| Duke and Duchess of Palma de Mallorca |
MADRID -- When King Felipe IV gave his address when he was proclaimed King, he asked his subjects for transparency and exemplarity. At the time, his sister, the Infanta Cristina, and her husband Iñaki Urdangarín were immersed in a case of corruption. The princess had not yet been impugned in the Noòs case, but the investigative judge decided to do so last month on the grounds that she knew her husband, the Duke of Palma de Mallorca, had been hiding money offshore, and other such charges. Now, King Felipe IV has asked his sister to give up her dynastic rights (she is sixth in line to the throne), which would not affect the couple's four children, who will take one step in the royal hierarchy. Princess Cristina had been asked to take this step by her father, King Juan Carlos I, when the case first came to light, but she refused.
