If she sees fit, Queen Elizabeth II can grant “royal pardon” to anyone convicted of a crime. ... The practice of royal pardon is less common today, but the Queen did use it to grant a posthumous pardon to World War II codebreaker Alan Turing in 2013.

Wouldn’t that be a hoot?

Why would Turing require a pardon? (He must've been mixed up in something I'm not aware of.)
