Queen Elizabeth II Joins Cultural Boycott of Russian State
Queen Elizabeth II's Royal Collection has joined in the cultural boycott of the Russian state by suspending loans to a Kremlin exhibition.
This action follows Russia's invasion of Ukraine which has drawn condemnation and sanctions from the West.
The exhibition staged by the Kremlin Museums titled The Duel: From Trial by Combat to a Noble Crime had been due to display three swords from the Queen's collection. Permission for these loans has been withdrawn following Russia's military action.
A spokesperson for the Royal Collection told Newsweek that the "decision to postpone a loan of three swords from the Royal Collection to the Kremlin Museums in Moscow was made in mid-February".
