The political campaign group Led By Donkeys confirmed that they were behind the stunt which saw several images of Trump and Epstein projected on to a tower while a soundtrack questioning the relationship between to the two men was played on a speaker.

A letter allegedly sent to Epstein by the US president was also projected on to the castle, along with pictures of Epstein’s victims, news clips about the case and police reports.

The police said in a statement four adults were arrested on suspicion of malicious communications after an “unauthorised projection” at Windsor Castle, which they described as a “public stunt”. The four remain in custody.
