Helch artist behind Windsor Castle graffiti which upset the late Queen dies aged 34

Graffiti artist Helch, known for his large-scale block-letter tags across the UK including near Windsor Castle, has died at the age of 34. His work was widely admired by art enthusiasts and commuters, though it reportedly upset the late Queen Elizabeth II, who was distressed by a 60-foot-high tag near Windsor Castle. Network Rail removed the graffiti, calling it offensive. Helch recently held a successful solo exhibition in London, marking the first time his work was available for legal purchase. Tributes poured in from fellow artists, fans, and the graffiti community, describing him as a legendary figure in the UK street art scene. Details surrounding his death remain unclear.
