When Victoria Eugenie converted to Catholicism upon her marriage to Alfonso XIII of Spain, many accuse her conversion as not being sincere.

I agree totally. A person's religion should be between the person and God. Conversion due to law or because of marriage is just an empty action that means nothing if the person isn't converting of their own will and spiritual well-being. It's a sad fact, though, that many people don't regard their religion as important enough to them that they can easily switch from one to another.
