Photographs of Virginia Giuffre were beamed on to the King’s residence, as well as images of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, as protesters gathered in London yesterday
A number of people have been arrested after Thames Valley Police were called to a public stunt in Windsor yesterday evening.
It comes after the US President and the First Lady arrived in the UK this evening for a second state visit. But Trump didn’t recieve the warmest of welcomes as protesters gathered outside Windsor Castle.
Photographs of Virginia Giuffre, Epstein’s most well-known victim, who died in April, were beamed on to the King’s residence, as well as images of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, his accomplice who is serving 20 years in prison for sex trafficking.
Police have called the stunt an ‘unauthorised projection’ at Windsor Castle.

Thames Valley Police have now confirmed four people have been arrested in Windsor. A statement on their website reads: ” Today (16/9), four adults were arrested on suspicion of malicious communications following a public stunt in Windsor.
“All four remain in custody at this time.”
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.
“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.”
Two men have also been arrested for breaching airspace restrictions in place for Mr Trump’s visit.
A 37-year-old man from Brentford, London, and another 37-year-old man from Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, have been arrested for flying drones that breached an airspace restriction order.
Thames Valley Police Inspector Matthew Wilkinson, of our Joint Operations Unit, said: “In line with standard protocol for events of this magnitude, a strict airspace restriction is now in effect.
“This measure is essential to ensure the safety of both the local community and all attendees of the state visit.
“We expect full cooperation from the public and will not hesitate to take enforcement action where necessary. We appreciate your understanding and compliance during this significant state occasion.”
The Metropolitan Police said it is preparing for “a significant operation” with as many as 50 protest groups expected to take part in Wednesday’s march in central London.
More than 1,600 officers will be deployed on Wednesday, including 500 assisting from other forces, Scotland Yard said.
