Images of Trump, Epstein projected on Windsor Castle ahead of president's arrival

President Trump’s second state visit to the United Kingdom was marked with public ridicule over his past relationship with the late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, after activists projected pictures of the two men onto Windsor Castle upon his arrival.

A series of photos showcased Trump, first lady Melania Trump and Epstein in addition to pictures of the convicted sex offenders alleged victims, police reports and media clippings involving the criminal case. Four people were arrested for the video projection, The Hill's sister network NewsNation reported.

"We take any unauthorized activity around Windsor Castle extremely seriously," the Thames Valley Police Force told CBS News in a statement.

"Our officers responded swiftly to stop the projection and four people have been arrested," the department continued. "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."

Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world and is open to visitors throughout the year, according to the Royal Connection Trust. The stature was founded by William the Conqueror in the 11th century and has since been the home of 40 monarchs.

One quote plastered across the side of the building read, “I was Donald’s closest friend for ten years.”

Trump and the first lady spent the night in the Winfield House in London, which serves as the designated U.S. ambassador residence.

The president has repeatedly denied accusations of being tied to Epstein, who died in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, claiming he kicked the disgraced financier out of his Mar-a-Lago residence upon discovering his criminal behavior.

The case was brought back into the spotlight earlier this year after the Justice Department and FBI issued a joint memo that concluded Epstein did not keep a client list, reaffirmed that his death was ruled a suicide and said more documents did not need to be made public.

Trump has also taken legal action against the Wall Street Journal, who first reported on his signature in an alleged "birthday book" gifted to Epstein for his 50th birthday. The White House and president have claimed the signature was forged.

Protestors who have railed against Trump's past relationship with Epstein have held demonstrations across London since July.
