Thousands demonstrate against Spanish royal family - Telegraph
I don't think the Spanish monarchy will go now, because of the scandals. At some point it might go as one of the first monarchies though, but only for the same reason all others will follow suit sooner or later: it is not democratic. The idea that people will inherit such an elite/priviledged position regardless of qualification and only because they were born into the 'right' family will only survive in dictatorships, not in democracies imo.
