The Duchess of Cambridge is one of the key figures in the Firm. Prince William and Middleton are among the few royals who remain very visible amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Royal experts and followers have witnessed Middleton’s improvement nine years after joining the royal family. However, according to previous reports, the duchess had a hard time pleasing the royals. So, at one point she made something unexpected move to be one of them.
The royal family is fond of hunting, and in 2007, she joined them to go deer stalking. However, the move irked the anti-blood campaigners.
“It is shocking and abhorrent that she is engaging in blood sports,” the spokesman for campaign group People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) said. “Kate is obviously trying to endear herself to the Royal Family and her decision will do her no favours whatsoever.”
It wasn’t the only time Middleton was criticized for supporting the royal family’s inclination for hunting. In 2018, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge received intense backlash from the netizens for taking Prince George to grouse hunting.
Several Twitter users found it “horrible” and “disgusting.” Some were concerned that Prince George would grow up without empathy for animals.
In 2018, Middleton also sparked another round of controversy when she was photographed wearing a beanie with fur during her royal tour to Scandinavia with Prince William.
Middleton has several fashion followers and they were disappointed when they tracked the item and found out it was Rain Wool Hand-Knit Beanie in Charcoal. The item is typically made with real fox fur.
“This is a scandal. How can she wear that? They are killed, murdered for the their fur,” one wrote.
“Some really fun William and Kate photos come out of Sweden this morning but disappointing if that’s a real bobble hat,” Victoria Arbiter added.
