O tradiție britanică veche de peste 200 de ani ar putea dispărea. Ce se întâmplă cu celebrele căciuli ale gărzilor regale

A long-standing British tradition involving the iconic bear fur hats worn by the Royal Guard may soon change as discussions arise about replacing them with synthetic materials. These hats, known as bearskins, are a symbol of London and have been part of royal ceremonies since the 19th century. The British Labour government is open to this change, provided a suitable synthetic alternative is found. Despite a decade of research, the Ministry of Defence has yet to identify a material that meets all military requirements. Recent pressure from MPs has prompted calls for faster development of a replacement, with assurances from the Defence Minister that they are committed to finding a sustainable solution.
