King Charles III is under intense scrutiny after 11 of his 12 full-time gardeners at Highgrove House resigned, citing low wages, overwhelming workloads, and a toxic work environment.
Reports allege that the King’s exacting and sometimes petty demands, coupled with poor pay and morale, have created a difficult atmosphere for staff. Some former employees claim they were injured or overwhelmed trying to meet the monarch’s high standards, while others describe micromanagement and abrupt dismissals. The King’s Foundation has denied the allegations, insisting staff welfare is a priority, but the controversy has sparked public debate about the royal household’s labor practices.
This mass exodus threatens to tarnish King Charles’s reputation as a passionate gardener and employer.
