A complaint has been filed against PETA for allegedly being involved in a political agenda, especially towards Prince William and Kate Middleton, contrary to its fundamental purpose.

The group, which previously targeted Wales, King Charles, and the Archbishop of Canterbury, is now under scrutiny for its campaigning activities.

Meanwhile, speculation swirls around William and Prince Harry’s future, with reports of a service honoring Princess Diana’s legacy raising the possibility of a reunion between the brothers.

PETA Watch has now filed a submission with the Charity Commission alleging that the animal rights group has turned away from its charitable mission and become increasingly involved in political activism.

In its filing, the watchdog argued that an organization created to prevent animal suffering is more focused on high-profile publicity than on direct animal welfare work.

The group pointed out that PETA does not operate animal shelters, rescue services, veterinary facilities, or sanctuaries anywhere in England and Wales. Instead, it claims the organization has poured its resources into public-facing movements.

Brian Monteith, PETA Watch’s communications adviser who filed the complaint, said the group has swapped practical animal welfare efforts for attention-grabbing initiatives.

“Instead, PETA chooses to execute a wide range of publicity stunts,” Monteith wrote in his claim.

While citing the regulator’s guidelines that a charity cannot have a political purpose, he then called for probing into whether “political campaigning has become the reason for PETA’s existence.”

The Charity Commission confirmed it would review the complaint, saying chief executive David Holdsworth and chairwoman Dame Julia Unwin had asked the relevant team to assess the matter.

The claim follows a series of campaigns that appear to criticize the Royals. 

One other time, the charity’s founder wrote to King Charles, urging him to publicly distance himself from the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel breed. PETA argued that breeders had prioritized a specific appearance in ways the group considers harmful to the dogs, per GB News.

The institution has also called on the Archbishop of Canterbury to remove beeswax candles, leather-bound Bibles, and woolen vestments from church services.

When William and Kate’s dog had a litter of puppies, the organization slammed the couple as “staggeringly out of touch” because many rescue dogs were still waiting to be adopted.

King Charles Open To A Memorial Service That Might Bring Prince William And Prince Harry Together

While the filing against PETA awaits review, a potential reunion could be on the horizon for Prince William and Prince Harry. The brothers may put their differences aside to honor their late mother, Princess Diana, on the 30th anniversary of her death.

Harry is exploring a documentary focused on Princess Diana’s life and legacy, while William is said to have turned down involvement in television projects tied to the milestone.

However, a memorial service could offer a different way for the family to celebrate Diana rather than competing media ventures.

Per The Blast, King Charles has not opposed the idea, opening the door to a commemorative gathering that could bring family members together.

A reconciliation between William and Harry could also benefit their children, who reportedly “have likely never met.”

As The Blast reported, sources have since linked the lack of contact between the cousins to the tension between the brothers. Other insiders suggested that the distance also played a role, giving them no opportunity to build a relationship despite being first cousins.

Harry and Meghan Markle have now moved back to the United Kingdom with their children, who live closer to their royal relatives. Still, the move has not eased the strain between the parents.

The Prince and Princess of Wales reportedly greeted the Sussexes’ return with little enthusiasm and did not reach out.

Amid Harry’s relocation, William is reportedly not convinced that Harry and Meghan Markle will remain in the UK for long.

As The Blast recently reported, one source claimed that William believes the Sussexes’ stay in Britain is unlikely to last for another six months before they eventually return to America.

The insider alleged that William is eager for Harry and Meghan to leave, claiming the future king does not view their current arrangement as “sustainable.”
