Four arrested after Trump and Epstein images projected on Windsor Castle

FOUR people have been arrested for projecting images of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein onto Windsor Castle.

The images on the castle, where King Charles is scheduled to host Trump during his state visit to the UK, were labelled a “public stunt” by police. The projection was reportedly done by campaign group Led by Donkeys.

Arrests were made on suspicions of malicious communications following the “unauthorised projection”. Images of Prince Andrew , who has also been linked to Epstein, were displayed too.

A letter allegedly written by the president to Epstein was projected on the castle. The note read: “To Jeff – you are the greatest! Donald.”

The letter, released by democrats in the US House of Representatives last week, appeared in the now-infamous birthday book compiled for the notorious paedophile. The White House has denied its authenticity.

Trump arrived on late on Tuesday evening for an unprecedented second state visit and is expected to be greeted by King Charles at Windsor Castle on Wednesday.

It comes after campaign group Everyone Hates Elon unfurled a 400m² banner containing a picture of Trump and the disgraced paedophile financier.

A video of the banner went viral, receiving over one million likes on TikTok and nearly 900,000 on Instagram.

The banner was funded by £30,000 received in donations via crowdfunder, titled “Put this photo everywhere for Trump's UK visit”.

It was made in collaboration with American actor Rosie O’Donnell, whose US citizenship was threatened by the president.

The banner, and Trump’s visit, follow a week of scandal for Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who eventually sacked US ambassador Peter Mandelson after his close friendship with Epstein was made public.

Emails showed Mandelson told Epstein that “your friends stay with you and love you” after he plead guilty to paedophilia charges in 2008.

Trump’s UK visit has already been met with a range of protests across the country.
