Prince Harry sells rifles, quits hunting for Meghan Markle
Prince Harry has reportedly sold his prized handmade rifles worth more than $60,000 after he quit hunting out of respect for his actress wife Meghan Markle.
Harry, 35, has unloaded the two weapons — from a British gunmaker Purdey — by selling them to another hunter in a private deal, according to The Sun.
The former royal, who learned to hunt as a child, has not joined his colleagues at recent game shooting events and is believed to have quit hunting altogether due to Markle’s opposition to the practice.
Harry sold the guns five months ago, a friend of the anonymous buyer told the paper.
“He bought them because he wanted them, not because they belonged to Harry,” the friend said. “But he was quite chuffed when he found out.”
Harry went on a wild boar hunt with his friends in Germany while engaged to Meghan in 2017.
In August, it was reported that Meghan may “fake a headache” to avoid a hunt at the Queen’s annual holiday to Balmoral.
The conservationist Dr Jane Goodall, a friend of Markle’s, recently told the Radio Times that Harry would quit shooting animals for sport.
“I think Harry will stop because Meghan doesn’t like hunting,” she said.
What a dope.
So this got me thinking. What have you given up to please the wife? lol
I gave up my race bike (in a way I'm glad I did, too many stupid drivers in my neck of the woods) & used the money towards a Pontiac Trans Am.
