King Charles is known for his love of gardening, which reportedly includes keeping a pristine garden at his private home, Highgrove House. However, the monarch has been hit by allegations from royal gardeners who claim the working conditions at Highgrove are inadequate. The King's treatment of his staff has also been called into question by a new report in The Times.
An article titled "King Charles, the disquiet at Highgrove and the gardeners' exodus" in The Times explores claims made by former royal employees. According to the outlet, King Charles "has remained involved on the most minute level, supervising everything from the size of peaches to the shade of roses." The monarch apparently makes his opinions known to staff by "sending notes in thick red ink," with his memos described by the outlet as "strikingly specific," "emotional," and "demanding."
