Activists hung a photo at the Louvre museum in Paris of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor following his arrest.
Today, the British-based anti-billionaire group Everyone Hates Elon mounted the photo on a wall of the French museum.
Underneath the framed photo, the group also hung a caption naming the picture as “href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness/body/can-overdose-adrenaline-really-stop-sweating-like-prince-andrew/" rel="">He’s Sweating Now”.
The photograph shows Mountbatten-Windsor slumped in the back seat of a Range Rover after leaving a Norfolk police station.
He was arrested on February 19 on suspicion of misconduct in public office and spent 11 hours in police custody.
On Instagram, Everyone Hates Elon shared a video of its members mounting the photo, with the caption: “They say ‘hang it in the Louvre’. So we did.”

Another video shows visitors chuckling at the infamous photo and taking photos of the image. The photo was taken down 15 minutes later by Louvre staff.
“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,” the group told Reuters.
“Let’s hope this is just the start. Justice for all Epstein survivors.”
Everyone Hates Elon says its mission is “p***ing off billionaires one small action at a time”.
It previously put up bus stop posters in east London of Elon Musk in a Tesla or “Swasticar” and captioned: “Goes from 0 to 1939 in 3 seconds”.
Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested after the United States Government released millions of documents related to the paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
They included copies of emails that are alleged to show Mountbatten-Windsor sharing confidential information to Epstein while working as a British trade envoy.
Mountbatten-Windsor has denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein and has previously said he regrets their friendship.
