King Charles III is under intense scrutiny after 11 out of 12 full-time gardeners at his cherished Highgrove estate resigned, citing low wages, overwhelming workloads, and a toxic work environment.
Reports allege that the King’s exacting standards and frequent, highly specific demands have created low morale and high stress among staff, with some claiming injuries and emotional distress. The King's Foundation has denied the allegations, insisting staff welfare is a priority, but the controversy has sparked public debate about the monarch's management style. Critics argue that the King's focus on perfection in his gardens has come at the expense of fair treatment for his employees.
The mass exodus has raised questions about working conditions within the royal household and the King's reputation as an employer.
