Wealth and Finances of the Spanish Royal Family

Queen Sofía's Greek Royal House is desposed for almost 5 decades. Her father already passed away before the downfall of the Greek monarchy, his Will already distributed to his widow and his children.

Since then Queen Sofía has given shelter and support to her mother Queen Frederica and her sister Princess Irene. Her brother King Constantine was cut off from his annual income in 1967, when he went in Exile, and has since used his buffer which he inherited from his father and managed to get out of Greece. But these will not be Sofía's to be inherited, we may assume. Until 1975 Sofía was married to a penniless Prince, with her royal in-laws living on what was left from the Spanish royal family's fortune.

I doubt Queen Sofía has a mega fortune.

She may not have a mega fortune, but she is not stupid. Her sense of duty will have come with a price too, see rumours of a 'second life' in UK.
JC will have provided for her in whatever ways. Question is if those were part of the illegal money flow.
It will be interesting to see if the Infantas and their children will accept JC's inheritance, my guess is yes. This will hurt casareal as well, the King's sisters living a rich life off illegal money.

What matters is what Felipe does, as he's the King. If his sisters accept tainted money that is their choice

For so far neither in Spain nor in Switzerland prosecutors have found grounds to go after Don Juan Carlos. So far there is no question of "illegal money".

From now on, the accounts of the Royal House will be verified by the Court of Accounts, with which an agreement will be signed.
In addition, the new royal decree will regulate all contracting procedures of the Royal House. All the contracts you make and all the principles that govern that contract will also be published on the website.

Thank you for posting the official communique and press reports.

Here is a link to the new royal decree. Perhaps one of the Spanish speakers could provide a short summary?

That may be because he is protected by immunity until 2014.

Here’s an article about King Felipe’s rather modest wealth:

This may be the reason why Letitia seldom wears much ‘bling’.
