‘Royals should be stripped of title’

CRISTINA DE BORBON and Iñaki Urdangarin should be deprived of their titles of Duke and Duchess of Palma de Mallorca, according to Més per Palma.

The political coalition will reportedly submit a proposal to Palma Council to deprive the younger sister of King Felipe VI, and her husband, Iñaki Urdangarin, of their official Duchess and Duke of Palma titles as they will both be tried for alleged involve-ment in the Noos case.

“The fact that two people who will stand trial for corruption charges hold titles with the name of our city is an insult to the citizens of Palma,” said Més spokesman Antoni Verger in a statement, adding that they will propose the Royal Household should repeal the Royal Decree that conferred the titles on the couple.

“It is an embarrassment that Palma’s name is still associated with a corruption case because of Urdangarin and Cristina de Borbon who stand accused of diverting public funds and tax offences,” he added.
