A Spanish judge moved closer to indicting Princess Cristina, the sister of newly proclaimed King Felipe VI, paving the way for a historic trial in a corruption and embezzlement investigation centring on her husband.

Spain’s princess Cristina testified today in a historic judicial hearing aimed at helping determine whether she and her husband illegally used company funds for personal expenses, including lavish parties at their modernist Barcelona mansion.

On a picture perfect spring day in 2009, Spain’s Princess Cristina and her husband held a First Communion celebration bash at their modernist Barcelona mansion with drinks and nibbles served from huge party tents on the sprawling grounds. The cost: €4,591.

Princess Cristina, the daughter of Spain’s King Juan Carlos, has been subpoenaed by a Spanish court as a suspect in an investigation of alleged tax fraud and money laundering.
