Monkey Queen is one of Banksy’s most iconic and irreverent works, first released in 2003. The piece features a satirical portrait of Queen Elizabeth II as a chimpanzee, complete with a regal pearl necklace and royal sash, set against a bold Union Jack backdrop. With characteristic subversive wit, Banksy critiques both the monarchy and British societal structures, using the image of a monkey to challenge ideas of power, tradition, and human exceptionalism.
