Princess Corinna zu Sayn-Wittgenstein: A Fibber? (VIDEO)

It seems, at least to me, that Princess Corinna zu Sayn-Wittgenstein may have stretched the truth just a bit when she spoke to the press about her “sensitive and classified” work for the Spanish government.

This morning in a press conference the Deputy Prime Minister, Ms. Soraya Sáenz de Santamaria, denied that the “alleged” former mistress of His Majesty King Juan Carlos I of Spain “…had done any sensitive and classified assignments cited herein [by Corinna]…”

Ms. Sáenz de Santamaria goes on to state that the Minister of Foreign Affairs  and Cooperation, Mr. José Manuel Garcia Margallo, confirmed that he was never “…aware of any official assignments…” by Princess Corinna for the Spanish government.  Furthermore, the previous government also denied that the princess had done any for them.

Finally, the Izquierda Plural (a Leftist group in the Congreso de los Diputados) is now requesting that the director of the Centro Nacional de Inteligencia (CNI), General Félix Sanz Roldán, appear before the Congreso de los Diputados to address this issue as to whether or not the blonde and busty princess ever did any “sensitive and classified” assignments for the Spanish government.

So, who is telling the truth?  Princess Corinna?  The Spanish government?  Or, did Casa Real give Princess Corinna these “sensitive and classified” assignments without informing the government (which, if true, is a stupid move on their part)?

Quien sabe?

You decide.

Princess Corinna zu Sayn-Wittgenstein Breaks Her Silence.

Well, this is interesting.  It seems that Princess Corinna zu Sayn-Wittgenstein finally decided to speak to the press regarding the infamous Botswana Affair and the Instituto Nóos scandal (her name was mentioned in several private emails. Mr. Undangarin’s former Instituto Nóos partner, Mr. Diego Torres, decided it was a brilliant idea to expose the emails to the press).

Any way, speaking from her home in lovely old Monaco the princess noted “…I want to talk now because I have to defend myself as my silence was misinterpreting.”

Great.
