It’s a photo that will haunt Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor for the
rest of his days—and will likely haunt the British Royal Family
forever—and now activists have decided it belongs in the
Louvre.
Activists from the ‘Everyone Hates Elon’ group hung the photo of
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor after his release from a police
detention centre in Norfolk on Thursday evening, following his
arrest earlier in the day on suspicion of misconduct in public
office. He was released nearly 12 hours after arrest, under
investigation.
On the ‘Everyone Hates Elon’ Instagram account, a video shows an
activist hanging the photo with a caption underneath that reads
“He’s sweating now,” the headline on the cover of The
Sun’s Thursday evening edition.
“They say
‘hang it in the Louvre’. So we did,” the caption on the Instagram post reads. The
group later provided a statement to the media, saying, “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.
When Andrew’s release photo was first published on newspaper
covers around the world, Lydia
Starbuck, Royal Central’s editor-in-chief wrote how, despite its
recency, “it is already one of the most famous pictures of
royalty ever taken and it has a place in the history books of the
21st century, for all the wrong reasons.
“For this one image captured the fall from lofty heights of
a former prince who some have claimed was always rather assured of
his royal importance.”
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was forced to quit Royal Lodge, his
long-time Windsor home for a more modest lodging on the Sandringham
estate. Police continue to search his former home, while searches
at Sandringham have concluded.
He had been stripped of all titles and styles earlier this year
by King Charles, and is now known simply by his birth name, and is
also
facing the prospect of an act of Parliament to remove him from the
line of succession. He is currently eighth in line to the
throne, and an act of Parliament would require the agreement of all
Commonwealth realms where King Charles is head of state to take
effect.
King Charles said in a statement that “What now follows is
the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is
investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate
authorities.
“In this, as I have said before, they have our full and
wholehearted support and co-operation. Let me state clearly: the
law must take its course.”
