King Felipe's brother-in-law, Iñaki Urdangarin, has been pictured hand-in-hand with another woman while his wife, Infanta Cristina de Borbón, remains living in Switzerland.

The photographs published by Spanish publication Lecturas, show the former handball player, 54, walking along a beach with an unknown woman. 

Sources have told HELLO!'s sister publication, HOLA!, that the photographs of her husband have not caught Infanta Cristina, 56, by surprise and that "she already knew".

Meanwhile, the couple's second son, Pablo Urdangarin, 21, told the press: "We are all going to love each other the same."

Iñaki and Infanta Cristina were last pictured publicly together last month in photos published by HOLA! as they enjoyed a family holiday in Baqueira Beret. The couple, who married in 1997, share four children, Juan, Pablo, Miguel and daughter Irene.

In June 2018, King Felipe's brother-in-law was given a five year and ten-month prison sentence following convictions of embezzlement and money laundering in excess of £4.5 million through his non-profit organisation, the Noos Institute.

Last year, Iñaki was granted permission to move to Spain's tercer grado or Grade 3 prison regime, meaning that he only reports to prison once a week.
