LONDON.- The queen camilla I promised to stop buying clothes fur for your wardrobe, reported today -May 15- the organization PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).
This British animal protection organization indicated that it received a letter from Buckingham Palace dated April 15 in that sense.
“In response to your request, I can confirm that Her Majesty will not be purchasing new fur clothing,” stated the palace letter received by PETA, according to a statement from this organization.
“This is accompanied by the warmest wishes of the queen,” the text added. Contacted by AFP, Buckingham Palace had no comment.
Camila follows in the footsteps of Queen Elizabeth II
Camila thus follows in the footsteps of Queen Elizabeth II, the mother of her husband Charles III, who stopped buying new leather clothes in 2019.
PETA applauds Camila’s gesture for being a true queen, siding with the 95% of British people who also refuse to wear fur.
“It is right and appropriate that the monarchy reflects British values by recognizing that fur has no place in our society,” the organization said.
The king is known for being an advocate for the environment and animal welfare.
However, Charles III and Camilla wore fur garments during their coronation, on May 6, 2023, putting on the ceremonial robes of George VI and Elizabeth II, the two previous kings.
Before the coronation, PETA had offered to provide Charles III with fur-free dresses for free.
