In a shocking move, activists hung a photo ofAndrew Mountbatten-Windsorat theLouvremuseum in Paris following his release from a police detention centre in Norfolk on Thursday evening. The group “Everyone Hates Elon” claimed responsibility for the act. On the “Everyone Hates Elon” Instagram account, a video shows an activist hanging the photo with a caption beneath it reading, “He’s sweating now”. He was arrested earlier the same day on suspicion of misconduct in public office amid the Epstein files controversy.

The activists, from the anti-billionaire campaign group, said they wanted to send a message to the former prince, which is why they carried out the action at a museum in Paris on Sunday.

A spokesman for the group said, "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."

The photo and caption hung for only 15 minutes before staff at the Louvre removed it.

The British government is considering legislation to remove Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from the royal line of succession, a move that would bar him from ever becoming king. Defense Minister Luke Pollard told the BBC that the proposal was the “right thing to do,” regardless of the outcome of an ongoing police investigation involving the king’s brother.

Andrew, currently eighth in line to the throne, was stripped of his titles, including “prince,” last October amid pressure over his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He was released from police custody on Thursday evening after being arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office over allegations he sent confidential government documents to Jeffrey Epstein.

Mountbatten-Windsor, who turned 66 this month, had been questioned all day by detectives from Thames Valley Police. The police force said it was looking ⁠into allegations that he had passed documents to the late convicted sex offender while working as a trade envoy.

Mountbatten-Windsor, the second son of the late Queen Elizabeth, has always denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein, and said he regrets their friendship.
