Ann Summers pays tribute to The Queen and promotes sex toys in unfortunate clash
A heartfelt tribute by Ann Summers to Queen Elizabeth II was somewhat marred by a unintentional promotion of sex toys.
The British retailer that specialises in sex toys and lingerie posted a tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away yesterday at the age of 96, posting a picture of the Queen and saying: "Thank you, Your Majesty".
In what should have been a loving tribute to the UK's longest serving monarch, an unfortunate clash took place as below the tribute was the promotion of several products such as sex toys, lubes and lingerie.
