Hungary's Ministry of Agriculture has admitted a mistake in the case of two Lipizzaner horses that Hungary gave as a gift to British King Charles III. The office stated that the animals were handed over to the royal household under a loan agreement and will remain in the United Kingdom. Telex ↗
The dispute arose after information emerged that in August the Hungarian government sent a letter to Buckingham Palace requesting the return of the horses Nelson and Ivecs. Media reported on the letter request citing the British tabloid press. The Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs subsequently stated that Budapest does not intend to request the return of the animals. Index.hu ↗
The Ministry of Agriculture admitted that an error occurred in the administrative communication. At the same time, it claims that the situation was quickly rectified and that the contractual terms remain unchanged. The horses are thus to continue staying at the royal residence.
Viktor Orbán also joined the public discussion, reacting on social media to the reports of the alleged request to return the gift with a reference from the film Üvegtigris. His post attracted attention at a time when Péter Magyar's government is facing criticism over how the whole matter was handled.
According to statements so far, the case has been concluded with the confirmation that the horses will remain in the United Kingdom. Further questions concern mainly responsibility for the original communication and the circumstances that led to the letter being sent.
