Ryanair scraps ad with Spain's Queen Sofia

Low-cost airline Ryanair recently ran afoul of the Queen of Spain, who is no fan of the "cheeky celebrity exploitation ads" that are Ryanair's specialty. After Queen Sofia booked a £13 Ryanair flight to England to see her sick brother, the airline launched an ad campaign in Spain showing Sofia over the slogan, "Fly like a monarch." The implied joke is that she's cheap. A spokesperson for the Queen accused the carrier of "making improper use of the Queen's image," and probably came within a breath of announcing, "We are not amused."
