The images were projected on Tuesday
Images of Trump and Epstein, who is a convicted sex offender, were projected onto the walls of Windsor Castle on Tuesday, September 16 ahead of Trump’s visit.

“Our officers responded swiftly to stop the projection, and four people have been arrested.”
An investigation into the incident is ongoing
“We are conducting a thorough investigation with our partners into the circumstances surrounding this incident and will provide further updates when we are in a position to do so,” Parker added.
A large banner of Trump and Epstein was also displayed on the huge walls of the castle’s footpath on Monday, a day before Trump’s visit.
The President arrived in London
Donald and Melania Trump arrived in London on Tuesday, September 16, and are expected to spend most of their stay at Windsor Castle with members of the royal family, including King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Kate Middleton.
The protest group posted the stunt online
The protest group behind the banner on the footpath is called ‘Everyone Hates Elon’. They posted a photo of it on their Instagram page, captioning it, “WELCOME TO WINDSOR CASTLE DONALD TRUMP.”
“The British public welcomed him with THIS gigantic banner right outside Windsor Castle where he is staying with the King this week. Paid for by 1770 people,” they wrote.
They feel strongly about the stunt
The protest group’s caption went on, “This trip to the UK is about a polishing Trump’s image so please DO NOT share this picture of the WORLD’S LARGEST PHOTO OF HIM WITH CONVICTED PEDO JEFFREY EPSTEIN. Thanks for co-operating at this difficult time for the President.”
Many have been questioning Trump’s involvement with Epstein
The topic of Trump and the Epstein files has been in circulation since the President promised their declassification since his 2024 presidential campaign.
But he’s been downplaying his previous relations with Epstein, who died in 2019. In a 2002 interview with New York Magazine, Trump said Epstein was a ‘terrific guy’, saying, “It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
