Activists from the Everyone Hates Elon campaign made a bold statement by installing a framed photo of ex-Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor at the Musée du Louvre on Sunday, February 22. The photo, taken shortly after his recent arrest, captured the disgraced former royalty in a vulnerable state following allegations of his ties to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Mountbatten-Windsor, who was stripped of his royal title last October due to his alleged involvement with Epstein’s trafficking ring, was apprehended on February 19 for suspected misconduct in public office as outlined in the latest release of Epstein files. The guerrilla installation at the Louvre featured a caption that read, “He’s Sweating Now,” alluding to Mountbatten-Windsor’s previous claim that he was unable to sweat medically, a claim he made while denying allegations of sexual misconduct with Virginia Roberts Giuffre, Epstein’s primary accuser.
Giuffre had accused Mountbatten-Windsor of engaging in sexual activities with her in 2001 when she was just 17 years old. She vividly recalled a night where they danced together at a London nightclub, and he allegedly sweated profusely all over her. The impromptu wall text accompanying the installation aimed to remind the ex-Prince of his past actions and the consequences he now faces.
The arrest of Mountbatten-Windsor on his 66th birthday came as a shock to many, especially after claims surfaced that he had shared confidential information with Epstein during his time as the UK trade envoy. A photojournalist from Reuters captured the infamous snapshot of Mountbatten-Windsor in the back of a police vehicle, looking disheveled and defeated.
The Everyone Hates Elon campaign, known for its confrontational tactics targeting wealthy and influential figures with ties to Epstein, took credit for the installation at the Louvre. The campaign’s mission is to hold powerful individuals accountable for their actions and ensure that they face consequences for their misconduct.
The choice of the Louvre as the location for the intervention was significant, as it tied back to Giuffre’s memoir, “Nobody’s Girl,” which begins with her revisiting the museum in 2021. The Louvre has yet to respond to inquiries regarding the installation, but the message was clear – those who abuse their power will not escape justice.
Overall, the guerrilla installation at the Louvre served as a powerful reminder of the consequences of abuse of power and the importance of holding individuals accountable for their actions, regardless of their status or influence. The actions of the Everyone Hates Elon campaign highlight the need for transparency and justice in cases of misconduct, especially when it involves vulnerable individuals like Giuffre.
