Felipe Juan Froilán de Marichalar y Borbon, nephew of Spain's King Felipe VI, has been implicated by police over his alleged involvement in a fight in a Madrid nightclub, in which some carried knives, it has been reported.
Froilán, 24, is being investigated by national police for possible affray, according to El Confidencial, the Spanish online newspaper.
He is the grandson of Juan Carlos I, who ruled from 1975 to 2014, and is fourth in line to the Spanish throne.
Froilán could have to spend three months to one year in prison if convicted, although in Spain sentences of under two years are usually suspended for first offences.
Police were called to the Vandido nightclub on Goya street in Madrid in the early hours of November 25 to reports of a group of around 30 people fighting.
In April, he was reportedly punched in the face after jumping the queue for a nightclub toilet in the Spanish capital.
After an exchange of words with the man waiting to use the facilities, Froilán is alleged to have warned him that he 'didn't know who he was speaking to', before being hit.
The palace declined to press charges against the attacker.
In 2012, Froilán accidentally shot himself in the foot while on a farm owned by his father's family.
It recalls an incident in 1956, when Juan Carlos unintentionally fatally shot his younger brother, Alfonso, with a revolver.
