King Charles has been dealing with a massive gardening staff exit at Highgrove House over the years. Reports previously mentioned that nearly all gardeners have quit their jobs following unsuccessful efforts to satisfy the monarch’s demands.

Charles, 76, was left licking his wounds after multiple frustrated staffers claimed they were “overwhelmed and underpaid” — allegations confirmed by a 2023 investigation commissioned by the King’s Foundation, which manages Highgrove’s gardens, the Sunday Times reported.

Faced with low pay, unrealistic demands, and poor working conditions, many of the gardeners employed by King Charles have had enough. According to a recent report published by The Sunday Times, 11 of the 12 full-time gardeners at King Charles’ Highgrove estate have left.
