Activists hang Andrew arrest photo at Louvre Museum to protest Epstein-related misconduct

Activists briefly displayed Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrest photo at the Louvre, drawing over 1.5 million social media views to highlight allegations linked to Epstein files.

  • On February 19, 2026, Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested in Norfolk, UK, detained for nearly 11 hours while police searched properties in Norfolk and Berkshire, UK.
  • Posting a video on Instagram, the group showed activists mounting a framed Reuters photo of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor with a caption reading `He's Sweating Now 2026`, while museum visitors photographed the display.
  • UK police said Mountbatten-Windsor was released under investigation, and no charges were filed, allowing detectives to continue enquiries, the authority noted.
  • By placing the image in the Louvre, activists aimed to amplify calls for accountability as the U.S. Justice Department released emails appearing to show Mountbatten-Windsor sharing reports from official trade visits with Epstein, under investigation.
