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, including micromanagement and harsh memos, have led to plummeting staff morale and even injuries. The King's Foundation has defended its employment practices, but former staff describe being underpaid and unable to meet the monarch’s high standards. 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 leadership and labor practices at one of the royal family's most iconic estates.
