King Charles III is under intense scrutiny after 11 out of 12 gardeners at his cherished Highgrove estate resigned, citing low pay, overwhelming demands, and poor working conditions.
Reports describe a toxic workplace, with staff claiming the King micromanaged tasks, issued exacting memos, and made 'impossible' requests, leading to low morale and even injuries. The King's Foundation has denied these allegations, insisting staff welfare is a priority, but the controversy has sparked public debate about the monarch's management style. The mass exodus threatens the reputation of Highgrove, a garden Charles has long been proud of, and raises questions about labor practices within the royal household.
The situation has also fueled broader discussions about the pressures and expectations placed on royal staff.
