King Charles III has offered a series of ‘competitive’ farming jobs to students over the summer and autumn months this year.
The monarch, 74, has created work placements for young people who want to learn more about organic farming.
The work will be carried out at Sandringham, and the roles include benefits such as "highly competitive rates of pay and overtime" and "high-quality accommodation".
The farming work will be in line with this year’s harvest, with workers set to be employed from June to October this year.
A job advertised on the Royal Estate's website reads: "Sandringham Farm is looking for harvest students to aid the farms team during harvest 2023.
"The role will involve using modern equipment in an interesting and unique environment.
"Candidates with a strong interest in organic farming or a willingness to learn new techniques would thrive in this role."
The advertisement stated that the farm, situated near King’s Lynn, stretches to 2,400ha and grows crops including wheat, barley, oats and beans.
Cattle and sheep are kept on the farm and are used within the rotation to cover crops and graze clover.
The work will include grain store maintenance and operation, some trailer work, occasional livestock work and estate maintenance, with the farm running a fleet of John Deere tractors.
While students are set to be welcomed onto the farm, it is thought that some of the monarch’s other residences could also be opened up to the public, so that they can become more self-sufficient.
According to Forbes, Charles has a property portfolio worth some £20billion, including ten castles, 12 homes, 56 cottages and 14 ancient ruins.
Royal biographer Andrew Lownie said: “We will see many more royal properties open to the public and hosting concerts such as Windsor, Sandringham and Balmoral.”
It comes after King Charles has given up his “very special” home in Wales, in a bid to scale back expenses associated with his multiple homes. Named Llwynywermod, the property is an old farmhouse which Charles and Camilla refurbished after buying it in 2007.
Following the Coronation, the King and his aides have shifted their attention towards the management of the various residences owned or used by the King, including Highgrove, Birkhall, Clarence House, Sandringham, and Balmoral, as well as official residences such as Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle.
One insider mentioned that this is an issue that requires attention, and discussions are underway regarding the possibility of increasing public access to some of the properties to help generate revenue.
