‘Extremely Upset’ Queen Elizabeth Spends $12,000 To Have ‘Eyesore’ Graffiti Removed
Queen Elizabeth II wasn’t happy with an “eyesore” graffiti near Windsor Castle, so she spent a huge amount of money to have it removed.
A wannabe Banksy artist painted a 60 feet tag on a railway viaduct with “Helch” using spray painting. The monarch was reportedly “extremely upset” because it ruined the picturesque view of the Windsor Castle.
“The Queen was extremely upset to hear that this view of Windsor Castle has been turned into such an eyesore,” an insider told The Sun.
“Her aides have been asked to see what can be done to have this gratuitous vandalism cleaned up and the views across to Windsor Castle restored to their former beauty.”
The Network Rail has already started to remove the controversial art. According to them, it had to be removed as soon as possible. The decision was reportedly made on a case-by-case basis with the size and scale of the graffiti in Windsor a contributing factor. Queen Elizabeth II shed $12,000 to have the art removed.
Many were pleased with the monarch’s action because the art was an eyesore and it ruined the view of Windsor Castle.
“I’m delighted its going, now people can see Windsor Castle as their first glimpse of the town,” Richard Endacott, chairman of the West Windsor Residents Association said. “For this piece of vandalism to ruin this view is just devastating and I am sure the Queen will not be impressed and it is essential that action is taken to restore a once fantastic view.”
Endacott didn’t mind the cost because they have 1.4 million tourists visiting Windsor Castle and the graffiti should not be their first sighting of it or the sort of memory they take away. However, he believed that the person who did the graffiti should pay for the cost of cleaning it up because it was illegal and a criminal offense. Most importantly, it “blights our town.”
