Four arrested after Trump, Epstein image projected onto Windsor Castle

Four men have been arrested after an image of US President Donald Trump alongside Jeffrey Epstein was projected onto Windsor Castle.

The stunt happened on the eve of Trump’s state visit to the UK.

A 60-year-old man from East Sussex, a 36-year-old man from London, a 37-year-old man from Kent and a 50-year-old man from London were arrested on suspicion of malicious communications and remain in police custody, Thames Valley Police said.

Chief Superintendent Felicity Parker said: “We take any unauthorised activity around Windsor Castle extremely seriously.

“Our officers responded swiftly to stop the projection and four people have been arrested.”

Other activists this week unveiled a huge image of Trump with Epstein in the area near the castle.

Trump said Tuesday after arriving in London that he loved being back in the United Kingdom, calling it a “very special place”.

Asked if he had a message for Charles, he said the king was a longtime friend of his and well-respected.

Meanwhile the Albanese government has thrown its support behind an Australian journalist who was subjected to a spray and threat from Trump. 

ABC journalist John Lyons, on assignment for the program Four Corners, quizzed Trump on his business dealings while in office, asking if it was “appropriate” for a sitting president to be engaged in so much personal commerce.
