The infamous photo of shamed Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor being driven from a Norfolk police station has been hung in the Louvre Museum by activists. 

British political campaign group Everyone Hates Elon fixed the photo on a wall of the Paris gallery on Sunday. 

It shows Andrew slouched in the backseat of a Range Rover after he spent 11 hours in police custody at Aylsham Police Station. 

The photo was snapped after his arrest on Thursday at Sandringham Estate on suspicion of misconduct in public office. 

The former Duke of York is facing allegations he sent confidential government documents to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein while working as a trade envoy between 2001 and 2011. 

Emails released by the US Department of Justice in January appear to show him sharing reports of official visits to the paedophile. 

Andrew, who turned 66 on the day of his arrest, has previously denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein and has publicly said he regrets their friendship. 

Andrew's ties to the convicted sex offender forced him to step down from his royal duties and he was stripped of his royal patronages in January 2022.

Andrew's ties to the convicted sex offender forced him to step down from his royal duties and he was stripped of his royal patronages in January 2022. 

In October 2025, he left his Windsor home, Royal Lodge, and relocated to a smaller privately funded address in Sandringham. 

A police search of Royal Lodge. continues today and is set to continue until Monday. The search comes as Downing Street is now reportedly considering removing the ex-prince from the royal line of succession. 

Andrew remains eighth in line to the throne and removing him would be the most significant change to the line of succession since Edward VIII's abdication.

An Act of Parliament is needed to do so, and Downing Street must have the agreement of the 14 other Commonwealth realms, including Jamaica, Canada and Australia.

At present, it is understood any change to legislation must wait until after the police investigation into the former prince is complete.
