The Queen has joined the cultural boycott of Russia by withholding swords destined for Moscow.
The Royal Collection had agreed to loan three 17th-century weapons to the Kremlin Museums for an exhibition about duelling, according to The Guardian.
Alisher Usmanov, the Russian oligarch, who has been sanctioned following the war in Ukraine, was a sponsor of the event titled The Duel: from Trial by Combat to a Noble Crime.
However, permission for the swords to be used in the exhibition was withdrawn in mid-February.
The move, combined with other European institutions pulling out of the event, meant its scheduled opening on March 4 has been postponed, with no new date set.
The Kremlin Museums said: “The core of the project consists of exhibits from European museums, which were forced to withdraw them before the time due to the geopolitical situation.”
