A British activist group has carried out a provocative act inside France’s Louvre Museum, hanging a framed portrait of former Prince Andrew – born Andrew Mountbatten Windsor – after he was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.Andrew was arrested for 11 hours after the US Department of Justice released additional files linked to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew was arrested on Thursday, intensifying scrutiny over his long-standing association with Epstein.

The photo, taken by Reuters photographer Phil Noble, shows Andrew sitting in the back of the car, appearing to shield his face from view shortly after the arrest. Noble later told Reuters that he was shocked when he was arrested.
“I couldn’t believe I had gotten it the way I did,” he said, adding that he asked a colleague to confirm it was actually Andrew in the photo.According to a report by stuff.co.nz, the UK-based anti-billionaire group Everybody Hates Elon said it secretly installed the image inside a Paris museum with the caption: “He’s sweating now.”The phrase refers to Andrew’s widely criticized 2019 interview on Nightline, in which he addressed the allegations made by Virginia Giuffre.
Giuffre claimed Andrew was “sweating profusely” during an encounter at a London nightclub in 2001.
“There’s a little problem with the sweating because I have a weird medical condition where I don’t sweat or I didn’t sweat at the time,” Andrew answered in the interview.The group shared snapshots of the museum online, writing: “They say hang it in the Louvre. So we did.”
