Prince Harry could say goodbye to hunting. According to reports by some English tabloids, he will not participate in Boxing Day, the usual pheasant hunt that by "tradition" takes place on December 26 with his brother William in Sandringham.
At the basis of this decision, there could be his wife, the Duchess Meghan Markle, who has always been a lover of animals and opposed to their exploitation and hunting.
Prince Harry has been taking part in this sad family habit since he was 12 but according to the Sunday Mirror, this year he could give up to spend more time with his pregnant wife.
Megan's ideas are certainly not new. For a long time a vegan activist and animal rights activist, the Duchess does not wear fur and has always said she is against hunting. This may have prompted Prince Harry to give up the family date for a quiet life.
To confirm this would also be the Vegan Society, according to which the decision was encouraged by the position of the Duchess against hunting.
Dominika Piasecka, portavoce di The Vegan Society, said: “We are delighted to hear that the Duchess persuaded Prince Harry not to take part in the Christmas royal pheasant hunt. Traditions are important to every nation, but if they involve senseless killing, they shouldn't continue. Vegan or not, many Brits are firmly opposed to hunting and we hope to see the royal family lead by example and stop participating in this cruel practice. "
But is it really so? An inside source at Kensington Palace would have dismissed everything, so Harry could be attending Boxing Day like every year.
If Harry gave up hunting, in Sandringham but also on other occasions, he could give an important example, in the hope that we can eradicate this macabre practice that many call sport.
