Actor and model Rafferty Law is the face of a new PETA campaign urging the Ministry of Defence to replace the real bearskin used to create caps worn by the Queen’s Guard with faux fur.
The famous headgear - called caps by the Army - are made from the skins of culled wild Canadian bears.
The 25-year-old son of actor Jude Law and Sadie Frost says that it takes the skin of at least one bear to create a single cap, which serves “absolutely no military purpose”.
