Portrait of King Charles III at the Philip Mould Gallery in London

Video. WATCH: Vegan activists tag new King Charles portrait

Updated:

Animal rights activists from Animal Rising vandalized a portrait of King Charles III at the Philip Mould Gallery in London, pasting an image of the famous animated character Wallace, from 'Wallace and Gromit,' over the king's head.

This act aimed to protest alleged animal cruelty on RSPCA-approved farms. The painting by artist Jonathan Yeo, unveiled last month, was undamaged due to a protective plastic sheet.

This incident unfolded on the same day as the King’s Foundation Awards, where King Charles III and celebrities such as David Beckham, Rod Stewart and his wife Penny Lancaster gathered to celebrate philanthropic achievements.
