Juan Carlos: Court throws out ex-lover's €145m legal case
A London court has thrown out a €145m (£126m) legal case brought by a former lover of the ex-king of Spain.
Danish businesswoman Corinna zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn had accused Juan Carlos of directing a campaign of harassment against her after their relationship broke down in 2012.
