LONDON, Oct 6, 2023 (BSS/AFP) - A UK judge on Friday ruled that the former lover of Spain's former king Juan Carlos I cannot bring a claim of harassment against him in the courts in London.

"The High Court of England and Wales lacks jurisdiction to try this claim," judge Rowena Collins Rice said in a written judgment on the civil claim brought by Corinna zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn.
