Members of the group 'Take Back Power,' who criticize the tax policies implemented by the United Kingdom and demand higher taxes from the wealthy, staged a custard attack on the royal crown worn by English kings and queens. Following the intervention by security officers, it was announced that the historic crown was unscathed.
Advocates of the group, which champions higher taxes on the super-rich and the establishment of a 'People's Chamber' public assembly, smeared England's famous dessert, apple crumble and custard, on the crown's glass casing.
Unfurling a banner in front of the crown that read 'Democracy is crumbling, tax the rich,' the activists made their stance clear.
The London Metropolitan Police announced that four protesters had been detained, and additionally, the Tower of London, where the royal jewels are displayed, had been temporarily closed to visitors.
