The thing that I don't get is that she didn't renounce her place in the line of succession, which is her actual "birth privilege", and nobody, either in the government or in the Royal House, told her to do so. Stripping her of a courtesy ducal title is a meaningless move IMHO if she continues to be an HRH.
She's the only one who can renounce her succession right. Neither the King nor the government can strip her the right. Both JC and Felipe asked her repeatedly to do just that. After she refused doing so, Felipe did the only thing he could do: Revoking her duchess title.
It's one thing in Spanish Constitution that should be amended IMO. What if an heir/heiress is mentally disable or unfit to be monarch?
On the issue of her "standing by her vows", it is not up to me to tell Christina to have a divorce, but I find it extremely odd that a woman whose defense was based on the argument that she was deceived by her husband into doing illegal acts without knowing it would not consider divorcing that said husband. So, either Cristina genuinely believes that Iñaki is innocent (and everything was just a setup), or she lied to the courts about her own "ignorance" of the matters she was charged with.
Agree. Most Spanish people don't believe her defense as a result.
