PARIS, Feb 22 (Reuters) – Activists from anti-billionaire campaign group “Everyone Hates Elon” on Sunday went to the Louvre museum in Paris where they hung a framed photograph of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, taken by a Reuters photographer on February 19, whilst he sat in the back of a car leaving a police station on the day of his arrest.
The activists, who also stuck a label under the photograph reading: “He’s Sweating Now – 2026,” said they wanted to send a message that the disgraced royal should be brought to justice.
Mountbatten-Windsor, the younger brother of British King Charles, was arrested on Thursday, his 66th birthday, on suspicion of misconduct in a public office following allegations that he sent confidential British government documents to late convicted U.S. sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
“We thought we’d show the former Prince Andrew how the world will remember him by putting up this iconic arrest photo at the Louvre. Let’s hope this is just the start. Justice for all Epstein survivors,” a spokesperson for the group said to Reuters in a statement.
The photo and the caption were on display for 15 minutes before Louvre staff removed it.
Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein and said he regretted his “ill-judged association” with Epstein.
