LONDON (Reuters) - New clothes designed for Britain's Queen Elizabeth will no longer be made from natural fur, a move that has been welcomed by animal rights activists, Buckingham Palace said.
In the future, Queen Elizabeth's 93-year-old fashion will be made of synthetic fur, but she will not throw away old clothes decorated with natural fur.
"When designing new clothes for the queen, any fur will be used industrially," Buckingham Palace spokesman said.
“We don't mean that the fur in old clothes will be replaced or the queen will never wear fur again. The Queen will continue to wear clothes in her wardrobe. ”
Queen Elizabeth has been photographed over the years dressed in fur and fur-decorated clothes, including evening scarves, hats and winter coats.
Beta, an animal rights group, welcomed the move.
The decision follows steps taken by several fashion houses to stop using natural fur and improve ethical standards that are environmentally friendly while increasing consumer awareness regarding the environment and animal rights.
