Great Britain His nanny: the important pillar of King Charles III with whom he still maintains a close bond today
He always stood out as a defender of the environment, ecology and animals.
Now that he has acceded to the throne of Great Britain, Charles III does not seem willing to change his convictions or opinions, although some of them aroused controversy when he was Prince of Wales.
The fact is that the British sovereign
has banned
foie gras
from the menu of all royal residences
.
It has been the British press that has revealed a letter sent by Buckingham Palace to the animal rights defense group PETA, where it points out that the delicacy, made from the
hypertrophied liver of the duck or goose
, is not bought nor is it served in the palaces of the British
royals
.
"There are no plans to change this policy," says the letter,
published by
The Daily Telegraph
newspaper .
Carlos III, who succeeded his mother on the throne after his death on September 8, has stood out throughout his life for his commitment to the environment and his
opposition to the consumption of foie gras due to suffering animal that implies its elaboration.
As the BBC recalls, when Charles was still Prince of Wales, he
vetoed the use of foie gras on his properties,
an approach that he has transferred to royal residences once he was proclaimed sovereign.
The letter received by PETA confirms that
the consumption of foie gras is prohibited in the different palaces of the monarchy
, including those of Buckingham, Balmoral, Windsor and Sandringham.
PETA's UK vice president, Elisa Allen, declared that it is time for others to "follow the king's example and keep
foie gras off the menu this Christmas
and beyond," according to the BBC.
At present,
the production of the product is prohibited in the United Kingdom
, but not its sale or import.
