No fairy tale: Spain's princess faces court date

In this Nov. 2, 2005 file photo, Spain's Princess Cristina, left waves beside her husband Inaki Urdangarin from a car in Madrid, Spain. In an unprecedented court appearance on Saturday Feb. 8, 2014 for a direct descendent of a Spanish king, Princess Cristina will answer questions from a judge who has formally named her as a fraud and money laundering suspect. The case is a direct offshoot of one led by the same judge in an investigation of her husband Inaki Urdangarin for allegedly using his position as the Duke of Palma to embezzle public contracts via the Noos Institute, a supposedly nonprofit foundation he set up that channeled money to other businesses. Spain’s royal family just wants the case that has now dragged on for years to end rapidly so the monarchy can try to rebuild the trust it once had.

The cost: 4,591 euros ($6,194).
