The grim discovery made in ­countryside owned by the monarch near Penicuik ­comes as Charles claims to be at one with nature in a new documentary.

King Charles has been accused of hypocrisy after 12 foxes were “shot and strung up like trophies” on Crown Estate land, we can reveal.

The grim discovery in ­countryside owned by the monarch, near Penicuik, ­Midlothian, sparked a police probe and comes as Charles claims to be at one with the natural world in a documentary out this week.

Campaigners have written to the King urging him to intervene after images obtained by the Sunday Mail showed the slaughtered animals, with some of the bloody carcasses draped over a fence near a publicly accessible path.

    OK, but the King has a shitload of land, this happened in Scotland over 350 miles from where he lives in London, and he probably had no idea. I suspect this is more about discrediting his pro-environment message that he’s been banging on about since he was young, well before it was in the least bit popular any political sense. Murdock hates that kind of thing.
