The remains of a swan have been found barbecued near Queen Elizabeth II's castle in Windsor, police said.
By law, all unmarked mute swans in England and Wales belong to the queen.
"It's an act of vandalism which shouldn't happen," she said. "The most sickening thing about all this is the swans will go to people because they think they are going to feed them. ... I always say they are semidomestic because they trust us, so it's going into a trap."
According to the official website of the British monarchy, all mute swans have belonged to the Crown since the 12th century, when they were regarded as a delicacy and eaten at banquets.
