For most of us, wearing fur is no longer an accessible option — not only has it gone out of style, but most people have chosen not to wear it in the name of stopping animal cruelty. The royal family, however, seems to have their own set of style rules when it comes to their ensembles, but it looks like the palace is another place you won't find furs. Queen Camilla has officially stopped buying fur, and surprisingly enough, she's not the first royal to do that.

Queen Camilla has officially said no to fur.
As Page Six reported, earlier this month, Buckingham Palace confirmed to Peta UK that Queen Camilla will not be purchasing any new pieces of fur clothing.
“PETA is toasting Queen Camilla with a glass of the finest claret for being a true queen by standing with the 95% of British people who also refuse to wear animal fur, as polls show," read a press release from the organization.
That doesn't mean we won't see her wearing it again, though.
The palace was clear to state that Camilla "will not procure any new fur garments" without mentioning what will happen to the ones she already owns. So if you see Camilla wearing furs on a cold day, it should be something from her existing collection, but she may decide to never wear any again.
The response to her decision has been very positive so far.
It seems people are glad that Camilla has made this cruelty-free choice.
One person tweeted, "So happy to see Queen Camilla making the compassionate shift to fur-free clothing and accessories!"
Another wrote, "Good! Better late than never!"

Queen Elizabeth made a similar vow during her reign.
Back in 2019, Elizabeth was the first to commit to no longer wearing fur. At the time, Buckingham Palace released a statement that said, “As new outfits are designed for the Queen, any fur used will be fake.”
Royal reporter Angela Kelly wrote that the mink lining had been removed from one of her favorite coats so it could still be worn, via The Independent.
Elizabeth still wore fur when it was required of her through the monarchy, though.
It's likely that Camilla will have to do the same. As The Independent pointed out, some ceremonial robes the royals are occasionally required to wear do include fur.
It's good to hear that Camilla is going faux from here on out. As the queen, it's a great example to set.
