Although the family is supposed to be on holiday, Princess Cristina was called to appear for questioning before the court in Palma de Mallorca. It's the first time that a Spanish royal has been summoned to appear in criminal proceedings since the restoration of the monarchy. The investigation in Palma de Mallorca is linked to a corruption case against Cristina's husband, Iñaki Urdangarin, which has been going on for years.
