Republic protesters claimed they entered Buckingham Palace as tourists and hung a picture of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor with Jeffrey Epstein in the Throne Room.
Metro reported that activists from the anti-monarchy group Republic bought tickets for the tour. They then made their own way through the building.
What is Republic?
Republic is a UK pressure group that campaigns for the abolition of the monarchy and its replacement with an elected head of state.
The group has organised protests at royal events and public appearances, including demonstrations linked to coronation events and royal ceremonies.
Graham Smith is the organisation’s chief executive and a frequent public spokesperson for its campaigns.
The group said it reached the Throne Room before staff stepped in. The image carried the words “what did you know?”.
Campaigners have used that slogan since Andrew lost his royal titles last year following scrutiny over his past association with late convicted sex offender Epstein.
