Activists have hung up the photo of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor leaving Aylsham Police Station in the Louvre.
The picture, which came in a gold-like frame, had the caption “He’s Sweating Now – 2026”, placed below it.
The activists from anti-billionaire campaign group “Everyone Hates Elon” took to the museum in Paris on Sunday, saying they wanted to send a message to the former prince.
A spokesman for the group said: “We thought we’d show the former Prince Andrew how the world will remember him by putting up this iconic arrest photo at the Louvre.

“Let’s hope this is just the start. Justice for all Epstein survivors.”
The photo and caption were displayed for 15 minutes before the Louvre staff removed them.
Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office on Thursday morning and spent 11 hours in police custody.
He has always denied any wrongdoing over his Epstein links, but has not directly responded to the latest allegations.

A recent survey said that four in five Britons backed calls for Andrew to be removed from the royal line of succession following his arrest.
The YouGov survey revealed that 82 per cent of Britons feel Andrew is no longer suitable to be in line to the throne, following recent developments surrounding the former Duke of York.
Andrew is currently eighth in line to the throne, with Prince William and his three children, and Prince Harry and his son and daughter, ahead of him.
Six per cent of Britons feel the former Duke of York should remain in the royal line of succession, while 12 per cent are unsure.

Following Andrew’s arrest, his brother, King Charles, said that “the law must take its course” after expressing his “deepest concern” over the arrest.
Thames Valley Police said he was released under investigation, and searches at a property in Norfolk, Andrew’s home on the Sandringham Estate, had concluded.
Searches at his former address, Royal Lodge in Windsor, Berkshire, are ongoing, with police vehicles seen operating in the area over the weekend.
It is understood that neither the King nor Buckingham Palace was informed before the arrest.

His Majesty released a statement within two hours of his brother’s arrest, which read: “I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office.
“What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities.
“In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation. Let me state clearly: the law must take its course.
“As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all.”
The Prince and Princess of Wales are said to have supported the statement.
