We don't often hear much about what the RF are up to with blood sports and sports that involve animal cruelty.

There's another thread on her about polo which I had no idea was such a cruel sport.

Yet William's happy to play. I know he believes his life's grift is pretending to save the environment and end poverty.

But in this age of increased awareness, more young people being vegan, or just more people more aware of cruelty, how does the Wales' involvement in cruelty to animals place them for future success as monarchs. Particularly when said younger people don't support them in the same way older people do.

Or is this all going to be underreported, and they'll do the usual shooting, and polo playing, etcetera, widening the gap between their relevance and younger people's expectations.

But it seems a fairly tenuous RF connection? The hunt that KC3 and Camilla 'used to' hunt with pre- hunting ban 20 years ago.

They'd have been late fifties or so then. More than capable of having worked out the inherent cruelty for themselves. C3 took W & H along for the 'fun' as children. C3 and Cam only discontinued their association when fox hunting was (rightly and in a long overdue move) banned.

C3 lobbied the then government against banning the practice claiming it as 'romantic'.

If health and legalities permitted I'd be entirely unsurprised to see them saddling up on Boxing Day.

I didn’t know this. Romantic? WTF?
