'He's sweating': Activists hang Andrew's arrest photo inside Paris's Louvre
What's the story
A British activist group, "Everyone Hates Elon," has pulled off a controversial stunt at France's Louvre Museum. The group hung a framed photograph of former Prince Andrew, who was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. He remained in custody for 11 hours. The arrest came after the United States Department of Justice released new documents related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Caption significance
Photo clicked by Reuters photographer
The photograph, taken by Reuters photographer Phil Noble, shows Andrew in a car trying to cover his face after the arrest. The UK-based activist group hung the photo at the Louvre with a caption that read: "He's Sweating Now." This refers to Andrew's infamous 2019 Nightline interview, where he addressed Virginia Giuffre's allegations and claimed he had a medical condition preventing him from sweating.
Installation claim
The activist group claimed they had secretly installed the photograph
The activist group claimed they had secretly installed the photograph inside the Louvre, according to a report by stuff.co.nz. They shared footage of the stunt online with a caption saying, "They say 'hang it in the Louvre.' So we did." The move was part of their campaign against billionaires and their influence, using Andrew's controversial past as a focal point.
