Costs £2,100 to vilify Spanish royals
Two Spanish cartoonists have been found guilty of offending the royal family and fined 3,000 euros (£2,100) each.
Their cartoon, on the front page of the weekly satirical magazine El Jueves in July, depicted Crown Prince Felipe and his wife Letizia having sex.
The edition was pulled from newsstands across the country by police.
A judge said that El Jueves' Guillermo Torres and Manel Fontdevila "had vilified the crown in the most gratuitous and unnecessary way".
Torres had drawn the cartoon and Fontdevila, the paper's cartoons editor, wrote the caption.
"Do you realise," says the crown prince in the cartoon, "if you get pregnant this will be the closest thing I've done to work in my whole life." Link
