American Pop Artist Andy Warhol may well have achieved his goal of becoming as famous as Queen Elizabeth. The original series of these four portraits accompanied found additional prints of three other reigning queens of the era: Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, Queen Margarethe II of Denmark, and Queen Ntombi Twyla of Swaziland.
