A British activist group staged a provocative show inside France’s Louvre museum, hanging a framed photo of the former Prince Andrew (née Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor) after his arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office.Andrew arrested 11 hours after DOJ releases more documents related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew was detained Thursday, intensifying scrutiny of his long relationship with Epstein.
The photo, taken by Reuters photographer Phil Noble, shows Andrew appearing to cover his face while sitting in the back seat of a car shortly after his arrest. Noble later told Reuters he was shocked by the moment he was captured. “I couldn’t believe I caught him so well,” he said, adding that he asked a colleague to confirm it was indeed Andrew in the frame.According to stuff.co.nz, the UK-based anti-billionaire group Everybody Hates Elon said they secretly placed the photo in a Paris museum with the caption: “He’s sweating now.”The quote was a reference to Andrew’s widely criticized 2019 interview with Nightline, in which he responded to Virginia Giuffre’s allegations. Giuffre has claimed that Andrew was “sweating profusely” during a 2001 encounter at a London nightclub.Andrew responded in the interview: “There’s a little problem with sweating because I have a specific medical condition where I don’t sweat, or I wasn’t sweating at the time.”The group shared footage of the museum stunt online, writing: “They said ‘hang it in the Louvre’. So we did it.”
