Prince Charles Bans Foie Gras From Royal Menus

I have some very exciting news: Prince Charles has instructed all his chefs to remove foie gras from menus at Royal residencies. One of his favourite shops in Gloucestershire may also see the removal of The Prince’s “Royal Warrant”, as they also sell the enlarged livers of ducks and geese. According to a source at Clarence House (one of the Royal residencies), “The Prince of Wales has a policy that his chefs should not buy foie gras. His Royal Highness was not aware that the House of Cheese sells foie gras and this will be addressed when their warrant is reviewed”.

You can learn more about the cruelty of foie gras here.

As The Prince is probably aware, no supermarkets in the UK sell foie gras and its production is actually prohibited here – so there is no excuse to continue serving it, “delicacy” or not. Well done, Charles!

Fortnum & Mason and Selfridges both also have a Royal Warrant. Please contact them and tell them to drop foie gras. Click here to contact Selfridges, and click here to contact Fortnum & Mason.
