–Queen’s new outfits will now be fur free
Respect for Animals has welcomed the news that the Queen will no longer be wearing fur in her new outfits.
Her personal adviser and senior dresser Angela Kelly wrote in her new memoir that Her Majesty will only wear fur-free new items for engagements due to changing attitudes in the country.
Any outfits designed for the Queen now will use fake fur instead.
In her book, titled The Other Side Of The Coin: The Queen, The Dresser And The Wardrobe, Ms Kelly says a coat worn by the Queen in Slovakia in 2008 has since been altered.
The coat’s trim, which originally used mink fur, has been replaced with fake fur.
However, this is likely to be an exception, as reports now suggest that fur on current clothing will not be replaced, and the Queen will continue to re-wear existing outfits in her wardrobe.
