Kate Middleton is facing criticism from PETA after wearing fur-lined gloves in photos of her and Prince Williams' ski trip with their kids.
Kensington Palace released photos from the royal family's first vacation as a family of four on Twitter on March 7. The photos show the family smiling and enjoying the snow and received positive feedback for being so adorable.
PETA, however, did not contribute to the positive feedback. They found the Restelli Guanti gloves Middleton was photographed wearing to be lined with possum fur.
PETA stated, "If the gloves are indeed made of real fur, we'll be contacting Kate, who we imagine is unaware that possums killed for their fur are often caught in bone-crushing steel-jaw traps... Since so many humane, warm and fashionable fabrics are readily available, there's no need to wear fur possum or otherwise," according to E! Online.
This clash with PETA is quite unusual for the royal family, as Prince William has made many efforts to protect endangered animals through policy.
