Activists Display Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's Arrest Photo at Louvre Museum in Paris

Key Points
  • Activists from the group Everyone Hates Elon displayed Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest photo at the Louvre museum in Paris for 15 minutes.
  • The display was titled "He's Sweating Now" in reference to Mountbatten-Windsor's controversial 2019 interview about Virginia Giuffre's allegations.
  • Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on February 19, 2026, on suspicion of misconduct in public office related to Jeffrey Epstein documents.

According to reports, activists from the UK-based anti-billionaire group Everyone Hates Elon mounted an unflattering arrest photo of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor at the Louvre museum in Paris on Sunday, February 23, 2026. The photo, which reportedly showed the disgraced British royal slumped in the back seat of a Range Rover after leaving a Norfolk police station, was displayed for approximately 15 minutes before being removed by museum staff.

The activists reportedly titled the display "He's Sweating Now" - a reference to Mountbatten-Windsor's controversial 2019 Newsnight interview where he claimed he couldn't sweat, which he used to dispute allegations from Virginia Giuffre. Giuffre, who died by suicide last year, had accused Mountbatten-Windsor of having sex with her when she was a minor being trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein.

They say 'hang it in the Louvre'. So we did.

The group shared a video on Instagram with the caption: "They say 'hang it in the Louvre'. So we did." In a statement to Reuters, the activists said they wanted to show "how the world will remember" the former prince and called for "justice for all Epstein survivors."

Mountbatten-Windsor was reportedly arrested on February 19 on suspicion of misconduct in public office, spending 11 hours in police custody. This marked the first arrest of a senior member of the British royal family since King Charles I in 1647. The arrest followed the release of millions of documents related to Epstein by the US government, including emails allegedly showing Mountbatten-Windsor sharing confidential information with Epstein while working as a British trade envoy. Mountbatten-Windsor continues to deny any wrongdoing.
