A mass exodus has rocked King Charles’s sprawling Highgrove estate, with 11 of his 12 full-time gardeners resigning in the last year over allegations of a toxic workplace environment.
Exasperated staffers, who claimed they were “overwhelmed and underpaid,” have handed in their resignations after growing increasingly frustrated with the monarch’s “demands,” The Sunday Times reports.
According to the damning new report, among the 11 gardeners who have stepped down are two heads of gardens and a deputy head gardener, all of whom left within the past year.
A recurring complaint was low wages, with insiders claiming that in March 2022, three gardeners earned $11.98 per hour (the minimum wage), whilst two others were on $12.78 per hour.
It’s said that the king issues a myriad of instructions to staffers during his morning walkabout on the estate. He then expects his orders to be completed before his next return.
Staffers claimed that the king sends detailed notes in “thick red ink” to garden staff, with memos that are “strikingly specific and emotional.”
Charles also allegedly corrects grammar and underlines incorrect letters in staff reports, and requires his team to address him as “Your Majesty” at all times.
“There was anger boiling at the surface, very impatient, no politeness at all,” one gardener alleged.
What a jerk. If any of us were the king, we would pay extremely well and treat workers like royalty.
Trump employees all praise him for his generosity and interpersonal considerateness.
A king who cannot even look after of his own workers is a king who can’t do anything right.
When people claim Western elites are a bunch of little shits who have no problem killing and bombing people wherever, while also stealing and taking adrenocrome from babies, while trafficking in sex slaves who are murdered in demonic ceremonies, little stuff like this adds enormous credibility to those charges.
Maybe there is another side to this story, but when it comes out, if it does, I am going to suspect it’s just another lie to protect his misery’s image.
I am a devout anticommunist but one good thing they did was require elites to work as laborers as part of their reeducations.
Beyond my conspicuous disgust over this story, an interesting point which can be taken from it is in general humans can and do quickly separate into opposing factions and then fight and abuse each other with zero moral compunction.
Charles was born into his faction but even the nouveau riche who come from poor backgrounds often display this kind of grossly insensitive behavior once they have ‘made it’ in their own half-baked minds. ABN
