The Royal Family has a traditional bird shoot on Boxing Day where they all get together and do, what else, shoot birds.
Whether it was the pleas of animal rights organizations or just The Duchess of Cambridge’s own personal feelings about bird murder, Kate Middleton will not be participating in the event.
A source said:
“At the moment Kate is very much the bright new star of the Royal Family and the Palace is keen for her to keep her nose clean.
Activists have begged her not to join the shoot. No-one wants to see her caught up in a scandal so soon.”
Seems like she’s taking a page out of her late mother-in-law Princess Diana’s book of kindness.
Way to be animal friendly, Kate!
You go, Duchess!!
