Spanish public television Tve is finally at the center of controversy after showing a banner with a sign that the opposition judged offensive to the royal family.

The theme is the departure of the 15-year-old heir to the throne Lenor, daughter of King Felipe and Queen Letizia, for a period of study in Wales.

And in the television girth we read: "Leonor leaves Spain as her grandfather" with reference to the exile of King Juan Carlos in Abu Dhabi after being involved in several corruption investigations.

Right-wing political groups in the opposition immediately protested, accusing the RTVE group, the public broadcaster to which Tve television and Rne radio belong, of being in the pay of the government led by the socialist Pedro Sanchez: "The drift of RTVE has not limits, comes to attack the Crown ", denounced the Partido Popular on Twitter.

Meanwhile, the admission of a "serious mistake" in showing such images has come from the top of Tve.

Princess Leonor, heir to the throne, will attend high school from next year at United World Colleges (UWC), UWC Atlantic College in Wales (UK), the cost of which is estimated at £ 67,000 (€ 76,500) , will be paid by the royals with their annual allowance.

The eldest daughter of King Felipe will begin attending school between the end of August and the beginning of September, reports the Royal House in a statement published by the Efe agency.

The princess will make this period of education compatible with "the progressive development of her institutional commitments in Spain", adds the note.
