A German magazine has a brilliantly awkward front cover featuring the Queen

One will not be amused.

Always proof-read.

German print magazine Der Spiegel has found itself in a sticky situation thanks to a recent front cover.

In what is meant to be an ode to, and biography of Queen Elizabeth II, the issue has found itself with an unfortunate front cover…

Der Spiegel

One of those covers that gets worse the more you look at it. Oops.

What’s stranger still is the mix up in between languages. “Queen” in German is “Königin”, so if anything the headline should be either “Die Königin” or “The Queen”.

Maybe the magazine editors were just die hard Sideshow Bob fans?

We’ll let ourselves out.
