Christina Aguilera bought the original of this edition in 2006 during a private viewing at Lazarides Gallery – setting in motion a price hike that would make Banksy works highly collectable. The piece may reference a myth that Queen Victoria once amended anti-homosexuality legislation on the grounds that she believed lesbians did not exist. Banksy has a history of upending the traditional imagery of the monarchy through controversial modifications – he’s also portrayed the current queen as both a monkey and possibly Ziggy Stardust (the latter image has never been confirmed as a Banksy).

Edition Guide

Queen Victoria

Released in 2003, this early screen print is said to have taken inspiration from Queen Victoria’s assertion that women ‘were not able to be gay’. Banksy is well known for his criticism of the UK’s monarchy and government as this print reaffirms this.

Banksy

The most famously anonymous artist in the world, Banksy made the front pages when he auto-shredded Girl With Balloon during a 2018 Sotheby's auction. Known for his thought-provoking social commentary, Banksy's varied works include the Walled Off Hotel (with its view of the West Bank barrier), cover art for Blur's Think Tank album, and a gigantic graffiti piece about Brexit, in the UK port of Dover.
