    Spanish princess to stand trial for tax fraud

    A court has ruled that Spanish Princess Cristina must stand trial for tax fraud and that she should testify in a high-profile corruption trial next month.

    Cristina, the sister of King Felipe VI, is accused of two counts of tax fraud for not declaring personal expenses that were paid by a company she and her husband owned.

    This will the first time that a member of the royal family is put on trial since Spain restored its monarchy in 1975.
