After being pressured by multiple animal rights organizations, Kate Middleton opted to “stay in the background” during the Royal family’s traditional Boxing Day bird shoot.

“At the moment Kate is very much the bright new star of the Royal Family and the Palace is keen for her to keep her nose clean,” a source told the Daily Star. “Activists have begged her not to join the shoot. No-one wants to see her caught up in a scandal so soon.”

Many animal rights groups, including PETA, have praised Kate’s choice to go against the typical protocol.
