Blooding is the practice of smearing an animal's blood on the face of the person who killed the animal while hunting. An article on blooding in the British royal family says "Spreading blood on a person’s face is an ancient ritual performed to celebrate a hunter’s first successful kill."[1][2] The ritual of blooding continues today, among hunters—especially upon children.[3]

 

Tom Quinn, author of Gilded Youth,[9] a book examining the ways in which members of the royal family raise their children, writes that few expect Kate Middleton (the wife of Prince William) will allow her children to be initiated with the blooding ritual which, in the royal family's tradition, sees young princes smeared with the blood of their first kills.[10]
