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.

They came by bus, by tractor or on foot. They waded through mud hoping to help clean up neighborhoods washed away by floodwaters that have killed at least 214 people. Thousands of Spanish citizens made their way to flood-ravaged Valencia over the weekend after the country’s worst natural disaster in recent history left the nation shocked by images of overturned cars and brick homes torn apart by furious water.
