Baltimore Ravens delete bizarre Queen tweet ahead of visit to London

What's up with her eye?

We appreciate the effort but something made the Ravens change their mind.

The Baltimore Ravens travel to London this weekend to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley and, in a bid to gee up their supporters, they got Queen Elizabeth II involved.

Ahead of Sunday’s clash, the official Ravens Twitter account posted an image of the Queen that we’ve not seen before.

We can’t quite remember the time that the 91-year-old declared her hardcore allegiance to John Harbaugh’s side but, we must admit, our memories aren’t the best.

There weren’t many complaints or accusations of disrespect following the decision to run Queen Elizabeth II’s face through the Ravens app, which automatically superimposes the team’s logo over one’s face, but followers just found it a bit creepy and weird as they rushed to screenshot the soon-to-be deleted photo.

We can expect plenty of memes to surface in the coming days making reference to the tweet but it will take some effort to better the below.
