Corinna zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn, 57, is seeking personal injury damages from Juan Carlos, 84, who ruled Spain from 1975 until his abdication in 2014 and now lives in the UAE.
The man claimed to be the illegitimate son of Spain s former king, after DNA tests showed a 99 percent match between them. He collapsed moments after ordering a drink from the bar near his hometown.
