Pink is still a little pissed off that Prince William didn't respond to an anti-hunting letter she sent to the royal way back in 2003. As we reported at the time, the Pinkster wrote to the Prince after hearing she'd been his first choice for the entertainment at his 21st birthday party. The letter said she'd only consider playing for the royal if he gave up hunting.
The letter read: "I was happy to hear that I was your first choice to play at your 21st birthday bash, then disgusted to learn that you hunt and kill animals for fun and that you purposely rammed a spear through a tiny deer in Africa. Why? Was it some kind of 'trying to prove you're a man' trip? But hey, we all make mistakes in our lives and we can all change. Hopefully you'll have a change of heart and find more interesting things to do with your spare time than kill animals. Call me or PETA if you'd like any suggestions! Then maybe I'll come play at your next birthday!"
Pink has remarked before that the Prince failed to respond to that letter, and in a new interview with Q has accused William of being a "redneck" for failing to shun animal killing sports. Pink: "I wrote to him to protest about foxhunting and I figured he would be this stuffy, privileged asshole. But he's like a redneck from the south. If you're brought up shooting and hunting animals, if you really think it's second nature and you're blasting away, then it's hard to see the other point of view. You need educating".
Pink also isn't impressed that the Queen never responded to another letter she sent, in which she spoke out about the use of bearskins for those rather silly hats worn by soldiers in ceremonial dress outside royal buildings. Pink says: "To be truthful I was really surprised I didn't get a reply to that one. I wasn't just writing in and complaining, and it certainly was not a publicity stunt. I actually proposed a plan. Stella McCartney had designed these replacement hats for the guards using fake fur. I felt we were solving the problem for her and offering a viable solution. But she never wrote back. Maybe she doesn't have any of my stuff on her iPod".
You know, I'm not sure she's sending these letters to the right place because I'm pretty sure any letter to a royal will get a nominal response for some lackey in the royal household.
