There are concerns that this year's Boxing Day hunt would be cancelled owing to a pheasant scarcity on the Sandringham estate.
To be clear, this is a customary royal hunting occasion, and the circumstance has apparently left King Charles 'unimpressed'.
According to The Sun, there are fewer pheasants this year due to insufficient production. Raising birds is common, although King Charles supposedly refuses to import pheasants from foreign breeders in order to maintain the practice.
According to a source, 'No birds, no bang, just red faces, The King was not having it.'
King Charles is a recognized environmentalist, therefore there is conjecture that he may stop or scale back this custom, particularly in light of public and animal rights concerns. Animal rights advocates oppose the event, and there is increasing pressure to abandon such practices.
Duncan Larcombe, a royal specialist, recently told OK! that the days of the royals shooting birds out of the sky for fun on Boxing Day may be over.
'The family is more on message these days, and I believe the King will be aware that the public is paying careful attention.'
This might be the beginning of the end for one of the monarchy's most contentious traditions.
