Donald Trump ’s official visit to Britain was preceded by an incident that attracted wide public and media attention. On the night of Tuesday, Sept. 16, and Wednesday, Sept. 17, a group of protesters projected images of the U.S. president alongside Jeffrey Epstein on the facade of Windsor Royal Castle, the residence now hosting the official ceremony with King Charles. The action ended with four arrests by British authorities.
According to reports from Open and local police, protesters first unfurled a large banner with a photograph of Trump together with Epstein, placing it near the royal residence. They then used a projector to display on the walls and one of the castle’s towers a series of images linking the U.S. president to the convicted child sex abuser financier, who was found dead under controversial circumstances in 2019. The projections also included newspaper clippings, police reports and an image of a letter attributed to Trump.
The latter, circulated Sept. 8 by Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives, was allegedly written more than two decades ago as a birthday message addressed to Epstein. The White House, however, rejected the authenticity of the document, denying that it was actually correspondence from Trump. Despite the denial, the circulation of the letter has rekindled attention on the relationship between the two, fueling controversy and giving protesters an opportunity for a demonstrative gesture on the eve of the official ceremony.
Police, who quickly responded to the scene, spoke of an unauthorized screening at Windsor Castle and described the action as a publicity stunt. The four individuals apprehended therefore remain in custody for further investigation. Authorities have not released details about the identity of the perpetrators or how the material was brought to the vicinity of the royal residence, located about forty kilometers from London.
