DISGRACED ROYAL GETS DAY IN COURT
The bitter legal battle between former Spanish king, Juan Carlos, and his former mistress, Corinna zu Sayn- Wittgenstein, has taken a new twist after she claimed in an explosive new podcast that the disgraced royal had received “bags full of cash” from unnamed friends.
The 57- year- old Danish businesswoman, who lives in England, is suing the former king for harassment, claiming he spied on her after their relationship broke down in 2012.
Juan ( 84) , who abdicated in 2014, following a corruption investigation involving his daughter’s husband, denied the charges.
He’s appealing against a high court decision in March, which rejected his claim that English courts had no jurisdiction over the case because he has state immunity as a royal. Corinna, who had a five-year affair with the European monarch, claims he used to call her 10 times a day at her office, using a fake name. “There’s something quite unhinged about him and something quite ruthless,” she says in her podcast, Corinna and the King.
