The video garnered over 100,000 likes and a million views, sparking a wide variety of reactions from Instagram users. 

An Instagram user wrote under the post, "I vote for this being snuck into every gallery and museum especially in England." 

Another added, "The Louvre. Worse security than a backstreet McDonald's."

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who is the former Duke of York, was recently arrested on his birthday on suspicion of misconduct and ties to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Thames Valley Police said that it assessed into claims that ex-Prince Andrew had shared confidential information during his role as the UK's trade envoy with Epstein.

However, the BBC reported that the former prince was released under investigation on Thursday, stating further that he faces no restrictions such as curfews or travel bans. 

The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) recently took the whole world by storm after publishing over 3 million documents regarding the Epstein files, including thousands of emails, 180,000 images, and 2,000 videos, sparking global outrage due to the explicit and disturbing nature of the released content.

Aside from Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the files also featured many well-known public figures, including Michael Wolff, Elon Musk, Ghislaine Maxwell, Rich Kahn, US First Lady Melania Trump, and American businessman Bill Gates.
