The outspoken royal told an audience at the Henley Literary Festival that despite being an animal lover she did not believe they had rights as "you only have rights if you pay your taxes".
Princess Michael of Kent says animals do not have 'rights' because they cannot pay taxes - TelegraphPrincess Michael of Kent has risked the wrath of the animal lobby, saying creatures do not have "rights" because they cannot pay taxes.
The writer and historian, who is married to the Queen's cousin, Prince Michael of Kent, said animals cannot really be considered to have rights, as many believe today.
Instead, she said, human beings have an "obligation" towards them.
Speaking at the Henley Literary Festival about her new novel, starring 15th century French royalty, Princess Michael said: "Today we're always hearing about animal rights.
Um, the royals DO pay taxes - even The Queen pays on her private income.I suppose it was meant as a joke? Or let's hope so. I didn 't read the comments under the articles but I assume that many will point out that royals do not pay taxes either... Not the most diplomatic remark of the princess, though as always she is entertaining.
She will probably be crusified for this by the politically-correct mafia, even though she seems to be an animal lover.
Animals are living creatures, they are capable of feeling pain and love. Do they have a right to be treated as such? I believe so.
Finally a lady with common sense. As animals can not speak, can not form an opinion, do not pay taxes, they indeed do not have 'rights' a normal citizen enjoys.
Thanks for the update!
Is it on the other eye maybe?It is troubling that the eye patch has made a reappearance in Miami. I wonder if HRH had to have a further operation and that's why it's back on?
