So This Happened: Queen Elizabeth, the Hologram

Shine's daily spotlight of the most jaw-dropping photo from today's news.


Yesterday, artist Chris Levine unveiled a holographic portrait of the Queen of England to awe-struck London spectators. To set the royal figurehead apart from other recent holograms, a real, tangible crown embedded with Asprey diamonds was fitted on her blue-tinted head. "The Diamond Queen," (dubbed a luxury light-box by The Telegraph) will be auctioned off to the highest bidder for charity. Memo toCoachella's organizers: don't get any funny ideas.
