Two activists from Britain's Just Stop Oil group covered a waxwork model of King Charles III with chocolate cake on Monday (October 24).

Eilidh McFadden, 20, from Glasgow and 29-year-old Tom Johnson from Sunderland stepped onto the dais showing the waxworks of Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William and Prince Catherine before revealing Just Stop Oil T-shirts under their clothing.

Both McFadden and Johnson then pushed the sweet treat into the model monarch's face.

The protest is the latest by the group's activists, who previously threw soup over Vincent van Gogh’s painting "Sunflowers" at London's National Gallery on October 14.

They have blocked roads around parliament and government departments, demanding Britain halts all new oil and gas projects.

Allied groups in other countries have also stepped up protests before the COP 27 climate conference kicks off in Egypt on November 6.
