Animal rights activists from “Animal Rising” defaced the first official portrait of King Charles III at the Philip Mould Gallery in London. They covered the King’s face with a sticker of Wallace from “Wallace and Gromit” and added a speech bubble criticizing animal cruelty on Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) farms. The Metropolitan Police confirmed no damage to the painting, protected by glass.
The portrait, created by Jonathan Yeo, is the first official depiction of King Charles post-coronation.
