British Royal News says that we certainly didn’t see this coming. Apparently, King Charles III has stopped serving foie gras at royal residences, animal rights group Peta has claimed. He previously removed the controversial pate from his royal residences while still the prince of Wales. Here’s what you need to know.
According to reports, Peta says it has received a letter from the Royal Household confirming this policy has now been extended to Buckingham Palace and all other royal residences. As a gesture of gratitude, the group is sending the King a hamper of ‘faux gras’ made by vegan chef Alexis Gauthier.
King Charles III Just Banned Foie Gras At All Royal Residences
A Peta spokeswoman said: “As Prince of Wales, King Charles removed foie gras – a despicable product for which ducks and geese are force-fed until their livers swell up to 10 times their natural size before the animals are slaughtered – from his royal residences. Now, Peta has received confirmation that His Majesty’s compassionate policy extends to Buckingham Palace and all other royal residences.”
Elisa Allen, Peta vice president, said: “Peta encourages everyone to follow the King’s lead and leave foie gras off the menu this Christmas and beyond.” Foie Gras can be imported and sold in the UK, but its production is banned.
The UK had proposed to prohibit its importation after Brexit, but these plans are now expected to be shelved. Peta is also campaigning for the King to ditch ermine fur robes for his coronation next year and to use animal-friendly faux fur instead.
So far King Charles III himself has not made any comments about the matter. With that said, we have a feeling that Christmas is going to look a little different for the royals this year as it will be there first one without their beloved Queen Elizabeth by their side. The monarch died at the age of 96 back in September.
