Queen Letizia and King Felipe of Spain have faced plenty of scandals when it comes to the Spanish royal family over the years, but unfortunately, their recent visit to visit flood victims took a messy turn when a crowd turned on the royal couple.

A crowd of enraged survivors hurled clots of the mud left by storm-spawned flooding at the Spanish royal couple — King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia — on Sunday during their first visit to the epicentre of the nation's deadliest natural disaster in living memory.

Protesters shouted "murderer" at Felipe VI, and the prime minister had to be evacuated as the crowd grew hostile.
