LONDON: British Queen Elizabeth II has joined the cultural boycott of Russia over the Ukraine invasion, British media reported on Wednesday.
According to a report by the Guardian, the Queen’s official art collection has a ‘cultural boycott’ of Russia after refusing permission for three antique swords to be displayed in the Moscow exhibition.
The Royal collection had planned to loan the 17th-century weapons to Moscow for reportedly an exhibition about dueling at the Kremlin Museums.
Now, it is reported that the Royal Collection has postponed permission for the swords to be sent to Moscow after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The decision was made in mid-February, according to the spokesperson for the Queen’s royal collection.
The Moscow exhibition has also been postponed indefinitely.
Earlier, Queen received praises for donating a whopping amount to Ukraine after the Russian invasion.
