Activists hung a framed photo ofAndrew Mountbatten-Windsorfollowinghis arrest earlier this weekat the Louvre art gallery in Paris in what they described as a political protest action. A video showed the former princeslumped in the back of a carafter leaving a police station. He was detained on suspicion of alleged misconduct in public office on Thursday. The photo was taken by Reuters photographer Phil Noble.
The framed picture was mounted on a wall inside the museum on Sunday by the UK-based activist group Everyone Hates Elon, accompanied by a caption reading “He’s Sweating Now”. The group shared footage of the stunt on social media, showing visitors stopping to look at the picture and taking photographs. Louvre staff removed the image around 15 minutes later, according to the activists.
In a statement, the group said the action was intended as a form of political commentary and called for accountability over allegations linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.
