MADRID -- Spain's King Felipe VI has renounced any future personal inheritance he could receive from his father, King Emerit Juan Carlos I, over the alleged financial irregularities involving the former monarch, the country's royal house announced Sunday.

The royal house said in a statement that in addition to renouncing his inheritance, Felipe is stripping Juan Carlos of his annual stipend. In 2018, the former monarch received 194,232 euros ($216,000).

The decision comes amid an ongoing investigation by Swiss prosecutors into an offshore account allegedly operated for Juan Carlos. The account allegedly received 88 million euros ($100 million) from Saudi Arabia's late King Abdullah in 2008, which prosecutors believe could be kickback payments, according to the Swiss newspaper Tribune de Geneve.

On Saturday, the British newspaper The Telegraph reported that Felipe was named as a beneficiary of an offshore fund that controls the Swiss account with an alleged 65 million euro gift ($72 million) from Saudi Arabia given to his father when he was on the throne.

1. Hmmm -how tall is King Felipe?

Various Google sources say 6’5.5” or 6’6”. He looks quite a bit taller than Donnie Dipshit.

5. He's got to be at least 6" taller than Dolt45

So if he is 6'6" trump is only 6'.

2. I used to watch televangelist Jack Van Impe and his lovely wife, Rexella, give long explanations

about current events (ripped from the headlines) that seemed to indicate "King Juan Carlos of Spain" was the Anti-Christ. Their shtick involved very creative interpretations of the Book of Daniel and could be pretty entertaining. I wonder who he suspects to be the Anti-Christ now.

Oh, dang:

He just missed the actual end times. (J/K... i hope.)

3. Who would have expected the "Anti-Christ" to be King Juan Carlos? Holy smoke.

Looks like the Deebil might have been playing tricks on Rev. Van Impe, and the saintly Rexella. Then he gets the Rev. to step off the curb before it's even the 2nd Coming! What a party poop.

4. Trump?

6. "...investigation by Swiss prosecutors into an offshore account allegedly...

...operated for Juan Carlos. The account allegedly received 88 million euros ($100 million) from Saudi Arabia..."

I wonder how many of these accounts Trump has...at least one from Russia and one from the Saudis.
