Buckingham Palace guards should swap bearskin caps with fake fur, MPs say

A cross-party group of MPs, including representatives from the Labour, Lib Dems, and Green Party, is urging the government to replace real bearskin caps worn by the King's Guard with fake fur alternatives. The parliamentarians argue that the continued use of real bear pelts, which are currently sourced from Canada, is impossible to justify. They are calling for an immediate transition to synthetic materials for the traditional headwear used by the Buckingham Palace guards.
