United Kingdom (UK)-based protest group Everyone Hates Elon on Sunday briefly displayed in the Louvre in Paris a photograph of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor leaving a Norfolk police station after his arrest.

The image, captured by Reuters, shows Mountbatten-Windsor seated in the back of a Range Rover after being released from custody after 11 hours. 

 

The group mounted the framed photograph on a gallery wall and titled it “He’s Sweating No”, referencing a newspaper frontpage published after his arrest.

 

A video of the demonstration shared on Instagram showed members of the group putting up the photograph, with the post stating: “They say ‘hang it in the Louvre’. So, we did.” 

 

Footage from visitors at the museum also showed people pausing to look at the display, some photographing the image before the museum staff removed it approximately 15 minutes later.

 

The group said the display was intended to show “how the world will remember him” and added that its mission was to take symbolic actions against billionaires.

 

Prince Andrew was arrested on February 19, his 66th birthday, on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The arrest followed the release of documents by the United States (US) government related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. 

 

Among the released material were emails allegedly showing Mountbatten-Windsor sharing information while serving as a British trade envoy. He has denied wrongdoing in connection with Epstein and previously said he regretted their friendship.
