D008-FRANCIA FOTO PRINCIPE ANDREW LOUVRE

STORY: Activists from anti-billionaire campaign group "Everyone Hates Elon" on Sunday (February 22) 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.

"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, 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.

British police said on Friday they were contacting former protection officers who worked for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, urging anyone with allegations of sex offences relating to Jeffrey Epstein to come forward.

In 2022, the royal settled a civil lawsuit brought in the United States by the late Virginia Giuffre who accused him of sexually abusing her when she was a teenager at properties owned by Epstein or his associates.

Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein and said he regretted his "ill-judged association" with Epstein.
