According to write Euronews, along with such masterpieces as the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo, another "exhibit" has appeared - an unfortunate photo of the arrest of a member of the British royal family. Activists pinned the photo to the wall of the museum and added the caption "He's Sweating Now". This is a reference to the scandalous 2019 interview with the Newsnight program, in which Mountbatten-Windsor claimed that he physically cannot sweat, denying the testimony of Virginia Giuffre.

The latter committed suicide last year. The woman accused Andrew of having sexual relations with her when she was a minor, when she, according to her, was a victim of sexual exploitation by Jeffrey Epstein.
Photo of Andrew and Virginia Giuffre from Epstein files was taken almost 25 years ago
The video released by the activists shows the photo being mounted in a museum space with the caption: “They say, ‘Hang this in the Louvre.’ And that’s what we did.”
The photo of the prince was taken on February 19 after Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The photo shows him in the back seat of a Range Rover after leaving a police station in Norfolk. He spent 11 hours in custody. This is the first arrest of a senior member of the British royal family since his arrest Charles I in 1647.
The former prince's arrest came after the US government released millions of documents related to the Epstein case.
The arrest came after the US government released millions of documents related to the Epstein case, including copies of emails that allegedly show confidential information was passed to Epstein during Mountbatten-Windsor's time as British trade representative.
He himself denies any wrongdoing.
The former Duke of York remains eighth in line to the British throne, and media reports suggest that the government of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is considering a separate act of parliament that would remove him from the line of succession.
Louvre employees dismantled the photo 15 minutes after it appeared.
