Immunity was denied to King Juan Carlos. His former lover continues with the lawsuit!

The British Courts on Thursday rejected the immunity claim filed by Spain's King Emeritus Juan Carlos I in a harassment suit brought by his former lover, Corinna zu Sayn-Wittgenstein, before the High Court in London.

"The plaintiff's claim is based on harassing conduct by the defendant" and "such acts do not fall within the sphere of governmental or sovereign activity," the court stated when it announced why "the immunity claim was rejected."

"The acts of surveillance alleged by the plaintiff, if carried out by agents of the National Intelligence Center (CNI), could enjoy state immunity, but the Spanish State has not claimed such immunity and it is unclear what precise role the CNI agents played in the alleged acts of harassment," the ruling stated.

This allows Corinna zu Sayn-Wittgenstein to proceed with her civil lawsuit in London against the father of the current King Felipe VI.

The 58-year-old from Denmark says she was the monarch's mistress between 2004 and 2009. In her lawsuit, she claimed that, after their breakup, she was spied on and was harassed on the orders of the 84-year-old former head of state, who abdicated in 2014 in favor of his son Felipe VI.

In court documents, she explained said she had a close friendship with the former monarch for a time after their separation. During that time, he gave her "works of art, jewelry and financial gifts," including payments worth some 65 million euros ($73 million) in June 2012.

However, when Juan Carlos tried to resume their relationship, and she rejected him, the ex-sovereign engaged in a "pattern of behavior tantamount to harassment," she claimed.

"He demanded the return of the gifts," was "threatening," and "subsequently carried out or organized a series of covert and overt acts of surveillance, causing distress and anxiety" to his former lover, according to the lawsuit.
