# Republican Group Unfurls Andrew-Epstein Banner at Buckingham Palace
An activist group called Republic displayed a banner linking Prince Andrew to Jeffrey Epstein at Buckingham Palace, the London residence and symbolic center of the British monarchy. The action was carried out by Republic activists to draw attention to ongoing questions surrounding the royal's connections to the financier.
Republic's Chief Executive Officer Graham Smith commented on the demonstration, stating that the activists had brought scrutiny of Prince Andrew directly to the institutional heart of the monarchy. Smith's statement indicated the group viewed the banner display as a significant act of protest, elevating the matter from public discourse to the royal household's doorstep.
The action reflects continued public concern and activism regarding Prince Andrew's associations with Epstein, who faced criminal charges related to sexual abuse before his death in prison in 2019. Prince Andrew has faced extensive scrutiny over his friendship with Epstein and has stepped back from public-facing royal duties.
