In the face of a corruption scandal, Spain's Princess Cristina has had to appear in court over accusations of tax fraud and money-laundering. The popularity of Spain’s royal family is at a new low.

Although the family is supposed to be on holiday, Princess Cristina was called to appear for questioning before the court in Palma de Mallorca.
