Princess Leonor of Spain target of "grave mistake" during TV reporting

[Jill 31,812]

This ABC news piece is about her leaving Spain to study abroad (how interesting) but this section took me by surprise:

"The Spanish royal family has been at the center of a controversy in recent years over the conduct of former monarch Juan Carlos, Leonor's grandfather, whose financial affairs are under investigation by magistrates. He went to live abroad last year to relieve the pressure on the current king, his son.

The news about the princess caused a rumpus at Spanish state broadcaster RTVE, which issued an “urgent statement” after an on-screen headline reported that “Leonor is leaving Spain, like her grandfather.”

RTVE “deeply regrets the grave mistake,” the statement said, promising those responsible will be “relieved of their duties.”

The school, for students ages 16-19, has 350 students and was established in 1962. Princess Leonor obtained admission to the school anonymously, taking several tests before being accepted, the royal household said."

The TV station has apologized citing its compromise with "the Constitution and the Crown"  what does that even mean, no one knows

Idk but it's tradition for future monarchs to study abroad, usually in other monarchies, conveniently.

The intern at RTVE spilled but of course freedom of speech in the country has a limit when it concerns that family apparently.

The public tv, despite having to be the most reliable of all the news sources, has become extremely biased and sensationalistic over the last few years and has taken a pretty conservative/right wing position. And for some reason, the institution of monarchy is really important for conservative (and so-called centrists, which are right wingers in disguise) here.

What they said means that they are gonna be loyal to the royal family and try to ignore the pieces of news that paint them in a bad light

The centrists are always right-wing people masquerading as centrists so they get to use the card of Enlightened Centrism TM to win disputes. Who could've predicted a constitutional monarchywould be more prone to becoming a right-wing state! Oh no!
