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 standards and frequent, highly specific demands have created low morale among staff, with some describing the workplace as 'impossible' and 'miserable.' The King's Foundation has defended its employment practices, but the controversy has sparked public debate about the monarch's management style and treatment of staff. Critics have accused King Charles of micromanagement and even bullying, while supporters argue his attention to detail is justified given his passion for gardening.
The mass exodus has raised questions about staff welfare and the internal culture within the royal household.
