In a significant shift, Buckingham Palace confirms that Queen Camilla has sworn off fur purchases. This move, following in the footsteps of her predecessor Queen Elizabeth II, aligns with promoting animal welfare within the royal family.
Camilla – a keen fox hunter before it was made illegal in the UK – follows in the footsteps of late Queen Elizabeth II, who announced she would stop buying fur in 2019. The activist group has been calling for years for the Ministry of Defense to end the use of bearskin for the hats worn by ceremonial guards.The tall, black hats are worn by the elite regiments, including for the Changing of the Guard outside Buckingham Palace, and are one of the best-known symbols of the UK.In reference to the ceremonial hats, PETA posted a video of hunters shooting unsuspecting black bears with crossbows.
