Police have questioned Prince Harry over the shooting of two threatened birds of prey near a royal estate in Norfolk, in eastern England, Buckingham Palace said on Tuesday.
The Norfolk Constabulary is investigating a possible wildlife offence after a member of the public said two hen harriers were shot on Wednesday on the edge of Sandringham Estate, a royal country retreat about 170km north of London.
Buckingham Palace said Harry and a friend were in the area at the time and that police have asked if they knew anything about the alleged incident.
The palace, which did not identify the friend, said neither knew anything about it.
