Meghan Markle Has Apparently Convinced Prince Harry To Skip This Royal Christmas Tradition

Dec 21, 2018 by apost team

The British Commonwealth has historically recognized December 26th as the annual holiday called Boxing Day. The origins of this holiday surround business owners sharing their resources with their employees such as money, clothes, and food.

Spectators claim that the holiday inherited its name by the donation boxes left outside of parishes, or due to the boxes that are leftover after Christmas morning.

To celebrate Boxing Day, the Royal Family always sets off the holiday by participating in a pheasant hunting event.

It seems as though this year may be a little different for the Windsors, as Prince Harry will be excusing himself from the celebration.

On May 19th of this year, Prince Harry married Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle. They had a beautiful ceremony located at St. George's Chapel with a grand audience watching over the Windsor court.

Markle has always been open about her vegan lifestyle, as well as her aversion to hunting for sport. It seems as though this cruelty-free lifestyle is having an impact on Prince Harry's point of view as well when looking at his decision to step back from the hunting activities.

There are differing theories as to why Prince Harry has decided to call it quits from the pheasant hunting event after over 20 years. Some say that there is no way Markle influenced him, as she would never coerce him to take on her vegan views. Others, however, state that it seems as though he has been talked into backing out of the event.

These commentators worry that it could have an impact on Prince Harry's relationship with his brother, Prince William. The two have always bonded over hunting trips, and friends fear that this could potentially build a wall between the two.

Hopefully, this change of heart won't drive a wedge between the Prince and his brother, but only time will truly tell if he's giving up on hunting events altogether. After all, Prince Harry had attended a boar hunting trip in Germany right before his wedding ceremony.
