So, she sees something is wrong with it, but seems to be more about the children than than the kills itself. She should be banning her children to participating in any form of violence towards animals and she should be teaching them it is not ok to hunt - or shoot! Such a tiny gesture so far, I wonder if her conscience now pricked a tiny bit will lead her to convert - eventually? Would be nice if she agreed with the majority of the public and turned her back on it all, but to be fair, must be difficult in her household and social circle!
Well good for the lovely St Kate.I'm sure the new Pope have her on his wish list for a new Saint.The problem I find with the Royals is that they are not particularly intelligent or sensitive peopleNormal mothers of young children would not let their offspring any where near such barbaric practices!
Totally agree with you Eamonn. Forget the 'blooding' at the end. What caring mother let's her child participate in brutal, horrific torture of any animal !
It’s Child Abuse! Perhaps the Gov should be challenged on this …. it does not fit with the principles, values and policies in Child Education. If children were exposed to such acts of violence, bullying, abuse, and barbarity by any other section of society, the police and social services would be called in immediately.
Kate is as awful as the rest of that family. Too weak to stand up and do something different…doesn’t want to rock the boat of entitlement.
You’d think after having cancer she might have become humble and appreciative of all that is living…but obviously not. I recall some old drivel she spouted a while back about how being amongst nature is so spiritual and how it has helped her get through…yeah whatever Kate!!
I guess stags, foxes and birds aren’t included in your version of spirituality in nature!!!
The woman in the clip talks about William taking George hunting…it’s disgusting…especially as William being of a newer generation knows how much this is detested by most of the public…surely he could have a say in it…but he obviously couldn’t care less about what people think or about the animals he murders. Doubt Kate has much influence over anything…she’s basically a handmaid (lol) but that William is due to be the next King…unfortunately!!!
She is only caring about her children getting blood on their faces. She doesn’t care about the massive pain and suffering caused to wildlife by her and the family she married into. Just stop the killing.
What a hollow decision to make this statement, she thinks it’s ok to kill just don’t dirty my kids face? Pathetic attempt at positive publicity? I am genuinely confused about why she has made this statement, all it made me think was “she actually lets her kids kill for pleasure” what sort of a parent would allow this. Torture a dog or cat and get prosecuted (maybe) torture wildlife and celebrate. I don’t care whether you can trace your family back hundreds of years whether you use a title or are rich, animal cruelty is an abomination and each and every person who partakes should be punished
So it's OK to hunt, terrorise and murder wildlife .... but not OK to smear to blood on her kids? As much as I like Kate it's a bit of a pathetic stance.
I agree with Diane and Rosemary but at the same time, I'm thankful to see even this very small step. Catherine is married into 1000 years of tradition and it takes an achingly long time to bring change - we all know that. It could well be that others in that family (and traditional) way of life will see her example and get the courage to make changes as well.
Meanwhile it's important that we keep up our own efforts and that hope for more progress in that family.
That's great to see a royal take responsibility for protecting and preserving nature. As an individual I've struggled with veganism for a long time, I don't go on planes anymore and I take public transport and to be honest I have not seen any effect in the climate crisis. So I don't feel that my personal efforts make any difference. But for a royal to take action that could make a noticeable difference. So that's great. Thanks.
I don’t think she is taking any responsibility for protecting nature she just doesn’t want the child’s face covered in blood making its way onto the front page of a newspaper. Or maybe I’m just cynical. As an individual we can feel powerless but as a group we can effect change, don’t give up being good. 😊
Why should I make so much effort to try to be good if Kate Middleton doesn't have to? If she's 'good' without any substance then what's the point? She takes all the credit. I don't make a difference on my own. I'm not going to start living a completely conscienceless life, I'll probably carry on doing as I am now but I'm not going to consider it activism or talk about it anymore because it doesn't change anything. My neighbours are deliberately cruel to their pets to hurt me. The world hurts everything I care about so why care?
This is very sad Sarah, have you considered recording and reporting your neighbours cruelty? Kate is not a good person and I think most sensible people can see through her attempt at decency.
I reported them to the RSPCA but when they went round my neighbour denied it and so they believed him. The next time it happened with a different neighbour the RSPCA said they didn't even have my address to record it which I know is a lie.
Not smearing your children’s faces with the blood of an animal they have just killed isn’t in any way taking responsibility for protecting and preserving nature! They will still grow up killing wild life and believing it’s fun.

She would gain some respect if she didn't take pleasure in killing animals and encouraging her children to do the same - and doing it at our expense.

Just look at Williams hair, the royal barber needs to hang their head in shame.
The Royals should all grow a pair and come out and condemn all hunting. Great the King wants to grow organic. Let’s have no blood spilt for it please.

The torture and ripping apart of live animals for someone's someones enjoyment

Spot on Debra!
She is only caring about her children getting blood on their faces. She doesn’t care about the massive pain and suffering caused to wildlife by her and the family she married into. Just stop the killing.
About time. She needs to get the message across to her hubby, kids and co. If the opportunity arises, they will be out shooting etc
Well done to the Princess of Wales

Because I haven't moved address

Well maybe this story isn't relevant to the theme of this substack.
