Prince Harry reveals in his memoir, Spare, his experience with hunting as a teenager at Balmoral Estate in Scotland, including his 'blooding' ceremony. He defends the practice as population control but admits it's likely over for him due to Meghan Markle's aversion to the activity. The news also touches on the recent ban on hunting at the Abergeldie Estate and Harry's stance on his children following in his footsteps.
Prince Harry has revealed his controversial pastime he previously practised in Scotland but was forced to give up due to Meghan Markle 's disapproval.
Recalling the memory in his memoir Spare, he explained how their guide, Sandy, had pushed his head inside the animal's carcass after Harry shot the deer. "A big stag in the larder meant plenty of good meat for those living around Balmoral. These virtues had been preached to me from an early age, but now I'd lived them, and felt them on my face. I wasn't religious, but this 'blood facial' was, to me, baptismal."
The Royal Family's love for hunting dates back centuries with it being a long-running tradition at Balmoral alongside the annual Boxing Day shoot at Sandringham. British primatologist Jane Goodall, who is a close friend of the Sussexes, previously said in an interview with the Radio Times in 2020 that Harry and Prince William were champions of the natural world "except they hunt and shoot".
