Spanish King Felipe VI's sister, Princess Cristina, appealed Wednesday against tax and money-laundering charges that threaten to land her in an unprecedented criminal trial. If Cristina ends up in the dock, it would be a first for a direct relative of the Spanish monarch, creating a significant challenge to Felipe who took the throne on June 18 promising an "honest and transparent monarchy".
But the 49-year-old, blonde-haired princess's lawyers are seeking to overturn investigating judge Jose Castro's June 25 ruling, which upheld tax fraud and money-laundering charges against her.
