Four protesters arrested for throwing custard and crumble at Crown Jewels display in symbolic protest against wealth inequality.

On December 6, 2025, four protesters from the group Take Back Power were arrested after throwing custard and apple crumble at a display case holding the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London. The non-violent group said the act symbolized a call for a citizen-led assembly empowered to tax extreme wealth. The Jewel House was temporarily closed, but the Crown Jewels were unharmed. Authorities confirmed arrests for suspected criminal damage, and the site has since reopened, with no injuries reported, highlighting ongoing debates over wealth inequality and democratic reform.
