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 a toxic work environment.
Reports claim the King micromanaged staff with exacting and sometimes petty requests, leading to low morale and even injuries among workers. The King's Foundation has denied allegations of a toxic workplace, but the mass exodus has sparked public criticism and raised questions about Charles's management style. The controversy threatens to tarnish the monarch's reputation as an avuncular figure and casts a shadow over his beloved gardens.
This labor dispute comes at a sensitive time, as Charles also faces ongoing health challenges and speculation about the future of his reign.
