They all go hunting with guns. Also own loads of horses and dogs.
Even though they are royalty they can still do bad things.
Basically they can do what they want.
I think if one or more of them said I want to go out and kill something I am sure it would be arranged.

They did, it is illegal now in britain.

Yes but, as it's on their land or a friends land, there isn't much that the law want to do about it. It's all very much "privilege" as we saw with the decrepit Prince Philip and his car accident recently. The police, in it's collective wisdom (not much of that) "talked to him". Oh joy for the victims of his crass stupidity!

They would if they thought that they could get away with it. but they fear outraging the publics opinion of them. Charles hasn't hunted with the Quorn hunt for many years. a victory for the anti's.

Yes under the guise that it's drag hunting, but they will never be prosecuted.

Not any longer as Hunting with Hounds (in a pack) is now banned in the UK. Packs do still go out but are supposed to follow a drag (aniseed trail usually). It is possible to hunt with two hounds still. The people who sabotage Hunts are often causing more harm than good.

@ SWC - so says somebody with, apparently, little if any real knowledge of country-ways. Yes there are some parts of 'hunting' that I can't agree with (cubbing being one and capturing and releasing foxes off their own territory another) but for the most part, hunting can, and does, provide a service. Left alone, the population on places like Exmoor (deer) have become a nuisance so farmers are taking pot-shots at them often winging not killing and leaving them to die a lingering death. Was a time when hunting allowed a rotation of which deer were culled and when, which kept a handle on the popultion/over-popoulation. Not now. As for foxes, if they weren't so darned cute, nobody would be concerned about keeping these vermin under control. Just like with rats. More and more foxes are coming into cities looking for food because the countryside can't support the population. And they bring with them mange as well as the fact that nobody picks up after Foxes.

No, they'd be caught doing it, they just blast birds out of the sky instead. They are for fox hunting and would do it if it was legal. Their friends might illegally fox hunt with dogs, the people that sabotage hunts are certain of this.
