I’m sure we’ve all seen the traditional ceremonial uniform which has been worn by the Queens guards for nearly two centuries but, this could be about to change.
The hats worn by the guards are actually made of real bearskin (imported from Canada) which obviously isn’t very PC these days. So, the Buckingham Palace guards could soon be wearing a faux-fur version of the real hats designed by vegetarian Stella McCartney.
Apparently the hats were originally designed to make the soldiers look taller as they were marching towards battle but it’s been over 100 years since these uniforms have been used for anything but guarding the Palace.
