Infamous photo of ex-Prince Andrew after his arrest hung in the Louvre by activists, stuns visitors

An arrest photo of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, now widely recognized, has been displayed in one of the world’s most frequented museums.

The former prince, who faced disgrace, was apprehended by UK authorities last Thursday at his Sandringham residence. He was detained on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

On what coincidentally was his 66th birthday, he underwent extensive questioning by police before being released later that night. The unflattering photograph of the late Queen’s son, captured while he reclined and attempted to avoid photographers, quickly circulated through major news outlets.

This photograph has now found its place in the Louvre.

A video posted online shows an activist affixing a framed copy of the image to a wall near the entrance of one of the museum’s galleries on Sunday.

The display was complemented by a title card, bearing the phrase “He’s Sweating Now.”

The three-word caption, which was the headline of British tabloid The Sun, refers to the former prince’s claim in an interview that he cannot sweat due to a medical condition.

“They say, ‘hang it in the Louvre. So we did,” the clip, posted to Instagram by anti-billionaire campaign group Everyone Hates Elon, read.

In a statement, a spokesperson for the group said they wanted to send a message.

“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,” they said to GB News.

“Let’s hope this is just the start. Justice for all Epstein survivors.”

It is unknown what time it was plastered on the wall, but potentially thousands of people may have seen it as they walked past. Up to 30,000 people visit the Louvre each day.

The photo was on display for reportedly 15 minutes before staff took it down.

The investigation of Andrew relates to his conduct as a British trade and investment envoy, a position that he held for about a decade.

The role is described as an “extensive program of targeted engagements both in the UK and overseas to promote the interest of UK industry and the UK as a whole.”

The former royal was forced out of it in 2011 over his relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. He has vehemently denied wrongdoing in relation to Epstein links.

Police confirmed Andrew had been released from custody while under investigation.

“On Thursday, we arrested a man in his sixties from Norfolk on suspicion of misconduct in public office,” a spokesperson said.

“The arrested man has now been released under investigation.

“We can also confirm that our searches in Norfolk have now concluded.”
