Quick Facts Dukedom of Palma de Mallorca, Creation date ...

The royal dukdom was granted on 26 September 1997 by King Juan Carlos I to his younger daughter, Infanta Cristina, on the occasion of her forthcoming marriage to Iñaki Urdangarin.

In April 1998, the City Council of Palma de Mallorca renamed one of its principal streets 'La Rambla' as "La Rambla dels Ducs de Palma de Mallorca" (English: La Rambla of the dukes of Palma de Mallorca). That same year, the Duchess and the Duke were granted the Golden Medal of the Balearic Islands.[1]

In 2013, the City Council renamed the street to its original name[2] and, in 2018, the regional government of the islands revoked the Golden Medal to Urdangarin.[1]

On 11 June 2015, she was stripped of her dukedom by King Felipe VI, her younger brother, due to a corruption inquiry, and the dukedom was merged again in the Spanish Crown.[3]
