In case you're in the mood for an update on the British royal family's Boxing Day, here ya go! It was initially reported that Prince Harry, Prince William, and Prince Charles spent the morning shooting pheasants, while Meghan Markle joined Kate Middleton for a Boxing Day lunch afterwards to feast on their bird haul. Kate and Meghan then had tea with the Queen, but hark! It ALSO appears that Kate partook in some shooting of her own....

The Daily Mail reports that Kate waited until Meghan's departure from Sandringham, and then joined Prince William and some other family members to kill some unlucky pheasants and partridges.

"She frequently goes out shooting when she is staying at Anmer Hall and has become a really good shot," a source said. "She is very much into the hunting, shooting and fishing country lifestyle. The 20-gauge smooth bore gun is ideal for shooting game birds."

So, how does Meghan feel? Honestly, she isn't sweating it-and frankly it's pretty polite of Kate to wait for her to leave before going out on the hunt.

"Meghan has realized that the royals have been doing this for centuries and aren't going to change their ways," the source said. "She is not a vegan or even a vegetarian, but she doesn't like unnecessary cruelty to animals. Harry has explained to her that the numbers of birds need to be kept down on the estate and that this is all part of the management. She has accepted this but doesn't like watching it. She enjoyed the lunch and got on well with Kate, but I'm not sure how she would feel about Kate taking part."

Meghan probably has more important things on her mind-and speaking of important things, here's a very important question:
