Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor post-arrest photo hung in Louvre by activists
"The image of the former Prince being driven away after his release from police detention in Norfolk, England, on 19 February was taken by Reuters photographer Phil Noble. Placed in a gold-like frame, it carried the caption "He's Sweating Now - 2026"-a phrase lifted from the front page of that evening's edition of The Sun newspaper. Jeffrey Epstein was convicted of soliciting prostitution and soliciting a minor in 2008."
"Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on his 66th birthday (19 February) on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Authorities are investigating allegations that he shared confidential British government documents with Epstein while serving as the United Kingdom's trade envoy. He has not been charged. Misconduct in public office carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment in the UK. The Louvre has not commented on the incident."
A Reuters photographer, Phil Noble, captured the former Prince being driven away after his release from police detention in Norfolk on 19 February. The photograph was placed in a gold-like frame with the caption "He's Sweating Now - 2026", lifted from that evening's edition of The Sun. Jeffrey Epstein was convicted in 2008 of soliciting prostitution and a minor and died in prison in 2019 while awaiting federal sex trafficking charges, a death ruled a suicide. Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on his 66th birthday on suspicion of misconduct in public office amid inquiries into alleged sharing of confidential British government documents with Epstein; he has not been charged. Misconduct in public office carries a maximum life sentence. Lydia Starbuck called the image "one of the defining images of the [British] royal family in the 21st century," and Sarah Hewson said it "will go down in history and is a photo that will haunt him for the rest of his life."
