Four arrested after images of Epstein, Trump and Prince Andrew are projected onto Windsor Castle as US President lands in UK
Four adults have been arrested after images of Jeffrey Epstein, Prince Andrew and Donald Trump were projected on to Windsor Castle.
Earlier this evening, a video of several images and clips of the disgraced financier and the US President, 79, together over the years were projected onto the famed castle.
The series of images were accompanied by a timeline, showing several pictures of the two and an alleged note from Mr Trump to Epstein which read: ‘To Jeff, you are the greatest.’
Images of Prince Andrew alongside Epstein, who was on trial for several sex trafficking charges, were also shone on the screen for passers by in the Berkshire town to see.
In 2019, the financier died while on trail, accused of running a ‘vast network’ of trafficking underage girls. He was also convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor, for which he was a registered sex offender, a decade prior.
The recent incident in Windsor comes as Mr Trump landed for his second state visit to the UK today, where he spoke of how being in Britain ‘warm[ed]’ his heart.
Thames Valley Police have since confirmed four adults were arrested on suspicion of malicious communication after what they called a ‘public stunt’.
Chief Superintendent Felicity Parker said: ‘We take any unauthorised activity around Windsor Castle extremely seriously.

The Republican leader arrived at Stansted Airport on Air Foce One and held his 55-year-old wife First Lady Melania’s hand as he walked down the aircraft steps.
Melania sported a trench coat from British designer Burberry and black riding boots as she and her husband were greeted by the Viscount Hood, Lord-in-Waiting, on behalf of King Charles.
The US Leader previously said it ‘warm[ed] [his] heart’ being in Britain as he looked ahead to meeting with His Majesty tomorrow.
The President’s allies have vowed he would ‘go easy’ on struggling Sir Keir Starmer during his visit following a series of domestic hits to the Prime Minister’s leadership.
One source said: ‘This trip will be about the splendour of Windsor Castle, inspecting the troops, the big banquet. This is a big deal for him. And the plan is to keep it about that.’
Yet despite a series of political scandals, with Lord Mandelson being dismissed as US ambassador and ex-Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner resigning over underpaid stamp duty, Trump praised the PM saying he represents the UK ‘so well’.
