Activists hang photo of Andrew leaving police custody in the Louvre
Everyone Hates Elon campaigners fix photo of ex-prince slouched in backseat of car after arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office

Activists have hung a photo in the Louvre museum in Paris of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor being driven from a police station after his arrest.

The British political campaign group Everyone Hates Elon fixed the photo, which shows the former prince slouched in the backseat of a Range Rover, on a wall of the Paris gallery on Sunday.

The photo was taken by the Reuters photographer Phil Noble after Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrest on Thursday at the Sandringham estate on suspicion of misconduct in public office. He later spent 11 hours in police custody at Aylsham police station in Norfolk.
