By Jill Reilly Spain's Princess Cristina is in court today to be questioned over whether she and her husband illegally used company funds for personal expenses, including lavish parties at their modernist Barcelona mansion. Hundreds of protesters blew shrieking whistles, revved motorcycle engines, honked car horns and chanted 'Out with the Spanish crown' just 100 metres from the side entrance of the courthouse where Cristina was dropped off in a modest Ford C-Max hatchback. A mystery over whether she would decide to walk about 50 paces down an alley leading to the entrance in a Spanish version of a 'perp walk' ended when the car drove down the alley instead.
