MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's Princess Cristina returned to court in Palma de Mallorca on Tuesday as defendants began to testify in a fraud trial that centres on her husband's business affairs and has badly damaged the image of the royal family.

King Felipe's 50-year-old sister became the first member of the Spanish royal family to stand in the dock at a preliminary hearing in January, and she now faces a full trial on tax fraud charges after an appeal by her lawyers was thrown out.
