Protestors covered King Charles III's new royal portrait with an image of a character from 'Wallace and Gromit'
Activists from an organization called Animal Rising paid a visit to the Philip Mould Gallery, covering the painting with two large stickers. In an Instagram video shared Tuesday, June 11, a blown-up image of Wallace from the Wallace & Gromit cartoons was placed over Charles' face. A second person placed a speech bubble on the painting which read, 'No cheese, Gromit.
When fans got their first glimpse of the portrait, which shows Charles standing stoically in a Welsh Guards uniform with a butterfly hovering over his shoulder, its vibrant red color scheme was met with mixed reactions. Yeo, 53, subsequently attempted to clarify his vision. 'My daughter was much too keen to show me all the crazy stuff about the painting on TikTok,' he told The Sunday Times in a May 19 interview. 'She's ... had the best day of her life with all of the conspiracies about the painting, saying I'm a Satanist and Illuminati.'
