King Charles III

lives up to its reputation as an environmentalist and nature lover.

It has long been regarded as an opponent of foie gras.

The monarch ruled that no foie gras should be served anywhere in his palaces.

London – The British King Charles' III.

(74) has banned the controversial delicacy foie gras from all royal residences, according to the animal rights organization PETA.

"I can confirm that foie gras is not purchased by the royal household nor served in the royal residences and there are no plans to change this policy," AFP said.

Foie gras is taboo for the royal family.

As far as bearskin hats are concerned, however, there is still no improvement in sight.

No place in King Charles' palaces is allowed to serve foie gras

At first it was good news that the animal welfare organization Peta in London had fluttered into the house.

“As Prince of Wales, King Charles has banned foie gras (...) from his royal residences.

Peta has now received confirmation that His Majesty's compassionate policy extends to Buckingham Palace and all other royal residences."

As the organization announced, Charles III.

already removed the "despicable product" from royal residences in his former role as Prince of Wales.

So now the news is that Buckingham Palace and all the other royal residences are following suit.

As a thank you, the animal rights activists sent a gift basket with the vegan version to the palace.

The regent shouldn't be too happy about that.

Criticism of bearskin hats and ermine coats remains

Another thorn in the side of the animal protection organization is the palace guard's famous bearskin hats.

The famous black caps of the palace guards are made from real bearskin.

Usually the fur of female Canadian brown bears is used for this.

The pelts used are "by-products of licensed culls by Canadian authorities" used to control the wild bear population, the palace said.

But critics are calling for the hats to be made only from synthetic animal fur.

This is exactly what Peta is now demanding for another important piece of clothing.

May the king use imitation fur for his coronation on May 6, 2023.

So far, the royal coat at the ceremony consists of real ermine fur.

Charles III

is said to have once described the traditional French delicacy as "disgusting".

He is said to have once described the delicacy, which is traditionally part of the Christmas feast in many places in France, as "disgusting".

Peta-Britain boss Elisa Allen called for following the king's example and sabotaging the product.

The manufacture of foie gras is banned in Britain, but its sale or importation is not.

Ducks and geese suffered terribly from being forced to fatten them with a tube down their throats.

There are a number of forbidden foods at the farm.

However, most other dishes are not about animal love or protection.

Human love is also a top priority at receptions or audiences.

Former chef of Queen Elizabeth II (96, † 2022) Darren McGrady said: "We can't serve anything with garlic or too many onions." Shellfish are also frowned upon in public.
