Two environmentalist activists on Monday attacked the waxwork model of King Charles III in London’s world-famous Madame Tussauds Museum.
A video posted online showed the activists approaching a section where the British royal family members’ waxworks are exhibited and throwing “chocolate cake” on the face of Charles' statue.
“Two supporters of Just Stop Oil have covered a Madame Tussauds waxwork model of King Charles III with chocolate cake, demanding that the Government halts all new oil and gas licences and consents,” said a statement from the Just Stop Oil, an environmentalist activist group.
The Just Stop Oil members have been staging various protestive action across the city for the past weeks, mostly blocking the roads, gluing themselves on the road. They demand from the British government to stop new oil and gas licenses and consents.
Activists from the same group earlier threw soup on Van Gogh's Sunflowers in the National Gallery, and closed the Dartford Bridge for almost two days after climbing the structure.
