King Charles III is under intense scrutiny after 11 out of 12 gardeners at his cherished Highgrove estate resigned, citing low wages, overwhelming workloads, and a toxic work environment.
Reports allege that the King’s exacting and sometimes petty demands, combined with poor pay and lack of resources, have led to plummeting morale and staff injuries. The King's Foundation has denied claims of a toxic workplace, but former staff describe micromanagement and emotional memos from the monarch. The controversy threatens King Charles's reputation as a caring employer and has sparked public debate about working conditions within the royal household.
The mass exodus has raised questions about the sustainability of royal staff management and the pressures faced by those working behind palace walls.
