Queen Sofia of Spain broke down in tears during a speech at an event in Madrid, amid reports that she has not been invited to her granddaughter Princess Leonor's swearing-in ceremony at Congress.

Juan Carlos has faced scandals in recent years, including a £126 million High Court battle with his Danish ex-lover.
