Everyone Hates Elon activists hang Prince Andrew’s post-arrest photo in the Louvre

Activists with British anti-billionaire protest collective Everyone Hates Elon hung a picture of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, in the Louvre Museum in Paris on Sunday.

The photograph, taken by Reuters photographer Phil Noble last week, shows the former prince in the back seat of his Range Rover leaving police custody after he was arrested for questioning over allegations he sent confidential government documents to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Everyone Hates Elon activists recorded themselves hanging a print of the photograph in a gilded frame on a Louvre gallery wall, with the wall text: “He’s Sweating Now - 2026.”

The wall text references Mountbatten-Windsor’s infamous “sweating” explanation given during his 2019 interview with Emily Maitlis on BBC Newsnight in which he denied having sex with prominent Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre.

In that interview, Mountbatten-Windsor attempted to rebut Giuffre’s claim that he was “profusely sweating” during an encounter at a London nightclub. He said he had a medical condition caused by an adrenaline overdose during the Falklands War, which he claimed made it impossible for him to sweat. He was widely mocked for it.

“We’re sick of obscenely rich, powerful men thinking they can just do as they please,” Everyone Hates Elon wrote in a post to Instagram.

“So, when he was arrested, we wanted to show ex-Prince Andrew how the world will remember him. … Let’s hope this is just the beginning for abusers like Andrew.”

The arrest of Mountbatten-Windsor is the latest fallout from the release of Epstein files from the U.S. Justice Department.

A day earlier, Les Wexner, the billionaire art collector and founder of Victoria's Secret parent company L Brands, sat for a nearly five-hour deposition with lawmakers about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein behind closed doors.
