The budget airline has used a picture of Queen Sofía of Spain without permission

As everyone expected the Ryanair publicity department has taken advantage of the news earlier this week that Queen Sofía of Spain took one of their planes on a flight from Santander to Standsted.

The Spanish press carries a Ryanair advert today, showing a picture of the Queen with the caption ‘Fly like a monarch’.
She did so as it was the only flight to London from Santander last Sunday where she was when she heard that her brother was seriously ill in London.

The appearance of a Ryanair advertisement in the Spanish press on Friday, using a picture of the Queen, has been attacked in a statement from the Zarzuela Palace which has said it is ‘disgusted and surprised’ by the use of the queen’s picture without permission in an advertising campaign.(Source:http://www.typicallyspanish.com)
