So sad news about Cristina and Iñaki, but not surprising at all. [.....]

The late Duke of Segovia also got divorced as did his older brother the former Prince of Asturias.

and the Duke of Cadiz?

You are right, but I think Don Alfonso wasn't acknowledged as "royal" (although he was a HRH) because he was not an "Infante".
Anyway, divorce is legal in Spain since 1981. Before that, it had been legal during the Second Republic (1932-1936). After the civil war, the new Francoist regime annulled the divorce law "with retroactive effects". This meant that former divorced couples were automatically married again if someone requested it.
The Duke of Segovia was never divorced as long he was a Spanish citizen.

I had forgotten about the divorces of 2 of the sons of Alfonso XIII
HRH Don Alfonso,Prince of Asturias
HRH the Infante Jaime, Duke of Segovia

An official annoncement has just come that Prince Nikolaos of Greece & his wife Tatiana, nee Blatnik are going to divorce:

Greek Royal Family Official Website (Thanks, Blog Real!)

And from the respective thread on this forum that Charlotte Casiraghi and Dimitri Rassam are separated.

 

[GondorHasNoPants]

That's very sad for Nikolaos and Tatiana. But it sounds as if the separation will not be acrimonious.

 

[suztav]

Oh dear. I didn’t see that one coming.

 

[TLLK]

I'm sorry that their marriage is ending, but I hope that their divorce will not be acrimonious. Both of them seem to enjoy living in Greece, so I hope that each will continue to do so.
