Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been spotted at the renowned Louvre museum in a photograph taken as he exited a taxi following his recent arrest. The former Prince was taken into custody on his 66th birthday on suspicion of misconduct in public office but was later released pending investigation after authorities descended on his temporary residence in Sandringham. A quick-witted photographer managed to capture a fleeting moment of him boarding a taxi from the police station, which has now become widely known.
A group of activists, believed to be TikTok pranksters, has displayed this photograph on a wall at the Paris gallery, potentially exposing it to thousands of visitors. The image shows the royal figure slouched in his car, and it has garnered significant attention, reaching millions of people. With approximately 30,000 daily visitors to the Louvre, the exposure of the picture is expected to increase.
The activists placed the photograph next to a fabricated artwork label reading “He’s Sweating Now,” humorously alluding to Mountbatten-Windsor’s previous statement claiming he does not sweat. This stunt is likely to intensify the embarrassment faced by the Royal Family following Andrew’s recent arrest, which came amid ongoing revelations about his ties to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. US Department of Justice documents revealed continued contact between Andrew and Epstein despite the financier’s disgrace.
While Andrew’s involvement in the documents does not imply any wrongdoing, the repercussions have been significant for the former Duke of York. The arrest for suspected misconduct in public office, which alleges serious abuse or neglect of powers while in a public office role, was swiftly criticized by King Charles III, who had already stripped his brother of his titles.
In a joint statement with the Prince and Princess of Wales, King Charles III expressed deep concern over the allegations against Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and emphasized the need for a thorough investigation by the appropriate authorities. He underscored the importance of upholding the law and refrained from further comment on the matter, pledging continued commitment to duty and service to the public.
