After less than a month on display, a painting of Queen Elizabeth II in Westminster Abbey has reportedly been defaced with spray paint. The suspect, a 41-year-old man, is being held in custody in a London station, London's Metropolitan Police said. “Until work can be done to remedy the damage it will, very regrettably, not be possible to have the painting on public view,” a spokesman for the abbey said. Buckingham Palace has chosen not to comment. Hopefully the hue complements her eyes.
