According to reports, at around 10.50am this morning (Monday, 24th October) four people were arrested after police were called to the popular London museum.
The protestors are understood to have carried out the cake smearing stunt in order to "demand the Government halts all new oil and gas licences and consents".
The actions of the activists were backed by the Just Stop Oil campaigners who shared the following statement on their Twitter account, "Just Stop Oil cakes the King."
It added, "Two supporters of Just Stop Oil have covered a Madame Tussauds waxwork model of King Charles III with chocolate cake, demanding that the Government halts all new oil and gas licences and consents."
