Four adults have been arrested after images of Jeffrey Epstein, Prince Andrew and Donald Trump were projected on to Windsor Castle.
Earlier this evening, a projection displaying various images and clips of the disgraced financier and the 79-year-old US President over the years was made onto the iconic castle.
The collection of images featured a timeline, including several photos of the pair and a purported note from Mr. Trump to Epstein, stating: ‘To Jeff, you are the greatest.’
Images of Prince Andrew with Epstein, who faced multiple sex trafficking charges, were also displayed for passersby in the Berkshire town to see.
In 2019, the financier passed away while on trial, accused of orchestrating a ‘vast network’ to traffic underage girls. He had also been convicted a decade earlier for soliciting prostitution from a minor, for which he was registered as a sex offender.
This recent display in Windsor coincides with Mr. Trump arriving for his second state visit to the UK today, where he expressed how his time in Britain made him feel ‘warm at heart.’
Thames Valley Police have since confirmed four adults were arrested on suspicion of malicious communication after what they called a ‘public stunt’.
Chief Superintendent Felicity Parker said: ‘We take any unauthorised activity around Windsor Castle extremely seriously.

‘Our officers responded swiftly to stop the projection and four people have been arrested.
‘We are conducting a thorough investigation with our partners into the circumstances surrounding this incident and will provide further updates when we are in a position to do so.’
The Republican leader arrived at Stansted Airport on Air Foce One and held his 55-year-old wife First Lady Melania’s hand as he walked down the aircraft steps.
Melania sported a trench coat from British designer Burberry and black riding boots as she and her husband were greeted by the Viscount Hood, Lord-in-Waiting, on behalf of King Charles.
Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper, who opposed his first state visit, shook Trump’s hand for about five seconds.
After landing on British soil, the US President also made several glowing remarks about the King.
He also praised ‘outstanding’ job his US Ambassador to the UK Warren Stevens had done as he stood shoulder-to-shoulder with him outside Winfield House where he will spend the night.
And while onboard Air Force One, Trump gushed about the expected pageantry awaiting him.

‘Enjoy yourselves. You’re going to have some great pictures today,’ he told reporters. ‘It’s going to be a beautiful event. Everyone’s looking forward to it. And we’ll just relax and have a good time.’
Trump earlier boasted about heading to the UK and spoke of his excitement to see the 76-year-old monarch, whom he described as ‘an elegant gentleman’.
The President’s allies have vowed he would ‘go easy’ on struggling Sir Keir Starmer during his visit following a series of domestic hits to the Prime Minister’s leadership.
One source said: ‘This trip will be about the splendour of Windsor Castle, inspecting the troops, the big banquet. This is a big deal for him. And the plan is to keep it about that.’
Yet despite a series of political scandals, with Lord Mandelson being dismissed as US ambassador and ex-Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner resigning over underpaid stamp duty, Trump praised the PM saying he represents the UK ‘so well’.
