George, Charlotte

The property is a retreat for
Queen Elizabeth

In addition to this family break, there are also other items on the program - traditionally
hunting is one of
them.

Corgarff
, where the
capercaillie hunt
took place again
this year

In addition to members of the Royal Family, numerous friends are invited.
While
Prince William
himself picked up the gun, his wife Kate and his seven-year-old son George are said to have watched.
Now that's
causing trouble.
Prince William & Kate Middleton: Heavy criticism for hunting trip with son Prince George
Because
animal protection activists
attack the duke couple harshly for the decision to take the little prince with them.
"Very few people
see
shooting as a 'sport' these days as something other than a
violent perversion,
" said PETA boss Mimi Bekhechi in a statement
quoted
by the
Daily Mail
.
It can
harm a child's
psyche
if they are forced
to watch
such
casual
killing
, she
says
.
"In order to help him develop into a responsible, compassionate leader, his parents have to
teach
him
respect for all living beings,
" the activist concludes.
Prince Harry: Because of his wife Meghan Markle, he refrains from traditional hunting
The
hunt
is part of the British royal family to traditional education.
In fact, it's not the first time
Prince George has been
with one despite his young age.
Even
Prince William
himself and his brother
Prince Harry
were already as children in hunting it.
They were so excited that their mother, the late
Princess Diana
, jokingly referred to them as their "Killer Wales," the
Daily Mail
reports
.
Since Prince Harry, who recently caused a sensation with a surprising announcement, but is with
Meghan Markle
*, he has been hunting significantly less than before.
Meghan has probably expressed her
disapproval
several times
, but has
never banned
her husband - even if these rumors circulated at times -
