King Charles III is under intense scrutiny after 11 out of 12 gardeners at his cherished Highgrove House estate resigned, citing low wages, overwhelming workloads, and unrealistic demands.
Reports describe a toxic work environment, with staff alleging micromanagement and exacting standards from the monarch, including memos correcting grammar and specific instructions on garden details. The King's Foundation has denied claims of a toxic workplace, but the controversy has sparked public debate about staff welfare and royal management practices. The mass exodus has damaged King Charles's reputation as an avuncular and caring employer, raising questions about working conditions within the royal household.
This scandal comes as the King continues to battle health issues and faces speculation about the future of his reign.
