I hear Britain’s new monarch, King Charles, is rejigging his finances after animal rights activists stole three lambs from his Sandringham estate.

In a video posted online, the trio are seen running across a field and grabbing three lambs, before driving them away in their getaway van.

The young lambs, taken from their mothers but “saved from the butcher”, were handed over to “experts” who will allow them to live out their days, according to the animal rights group Rising Animals.
