YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Fashion The Queen will no longer use real fur in her wardrobe By You Magazine - November 6, 2019 Any outfit fit for a queen will always be made of the finest materials – and from now on, Queen Elizabeth II will add faux fur to that list. Royal dresser Angela Kelly, who has worked with the monarch for 25 years, has revealed that any new additions to the royal wardrobe will eschew real fur in favour of a faux alternative. Getty Images ‘If Her Majesty is due to attend an engagement in particularly cold weather, from 2019 onwards fake fur will be used to make sure she stays warm,’ Kelly reveals in her new book, The Other Side of the Coin: The Queen, the Dresser and the Wardrobe. A Buckingham Palace representative also confirmed to The Daily Telegraph: ‘As new outfits are designed for the Queen, any fur used will be fake.’ However, the Queen will continue to wear existing items with accents of real fur, including ceremonial robes. Getty Images Fur has long been a staple feature in her fashion for formal engagements, from coats and hats to stoles and trimmed capes and even accents on the Crown Jewels. But Claire Bass, executive director of Humane Society International said that the latest change in direction reflects the views of a nation as a whole, ‘the vast majority of whom detest cruel fur, and want nothing to do with it.’ Getty Images “Our Head of State going fur-free sends a powerful message that fur is firmly out of fashion and does not belong with Brand Britain.’ she told the paper. ‘The UK banned fur farming almost two decades ago because it was deemed too cruel, now we must finish the job and ban fur sales too.’ The decision is thought to make the Queen the first member of the royal family to publicly renounce the use of real fur. Getty Images Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall has faced backlash for wearing fur in the past, while Kate Middleton has been pictured wearing a real alpaca fur hat made from animals who died of natural causes. Meghan Markle, however, has never been publicly pictured wearing fur. Representatives from PETA echoed the Humane Society’s comments on the Queen’s decision, saying: ‘This new policy is a sign of the times, as 95 per cent of the British public would also refuse to wear real fur.’ RELATED ARTICLESMORE FROM AUTHOR Rochelle Humes has launched a gorgeous new edit with Next Shop the YOU Magazine Instagram YOU picks the best new-in buys from M& S Popular in Fashion Laura Jackson has teamed up with Next for the chicest knitwear January 22, 2020 Holly Willoughby’ s birthday dress is another Zara bargain February 10, 2020 The Instagram-famous & Other Stories wool blazer is back in stock August 31, 2022 Lorraine just wore Emma Willis’ Next collection from head to toe March 17, 2020 The prettiest spring dresses under £100 March 1, 2022 Everyone is buying Holly’ s gorgeous gingham Oasis dress May 14, 2020 13 bargain dresses to buy in ASOS’ s extra 20 per cent June 10, 2020 This £20 H& M dress is set to be the social media June 26, 2020 Stacey Solomon x Primark is back for a third collection with July 20, 2020 Searches for this perfect heatwave summer top style are up 5000% August 10, 2020 Popular CategoriesFood2704Life2496Fashion2240Beauty1738Celebrity1261Interiors684 Sign up for YOUMail Thanks for subscribing Please check your email to confirm (If you don't see the email, check the spam box) Fashion Beauty Celebrity Life Food Privacy & Cookies T&C Copyright 2022 - YOU Magazine.
