A quick thread on in the importance of being careful what data you share – even if you’re the Queen. Today, Her Maj tweeted this lovely picture, gor bless er, etc. You might think that the contents of the red box would be official business. And you’d be right. 1/6 pic.twitter.com/y1RspNRUzy

Queen Elizabeth is celebrating 70 years on the throne, which is a record for the British monarchy. They call this a platinum jubilee, although they could have called it anything since it’s never been done before. There are a lot of celebrations and events planned, and the Queen has released quite a few photographs lately. Adam Kay noticed that there are some documents visible in this one. Can we possibly find out what they are?
A quick click of the Perspective Warp function on Photoshop gets it looking a little bit squarer. 3/6 pic.twitter.com/yWm2L2Ycnn

The rule of thumb is to check the background of any photograph before you post it, because people will pick around in the corners. We really don’t expect Her Majesty to use anything vulnerable to national security concerns as a photo prop, but we can’t help but be curious. A shopping list? A fan letter? A will? Kay is working with a larger version of the photo, so he was able to enhance quite a bit to reveal the contents of the top document. Artificial intelligence may or may not have been involved. To see what was revealed, you’ll need to read the 6-Tweet thread starting here. -via Fark
