King Charles and Prince William’s feud is reportedly getting worse after plans were approved to build a large manure storage lagoon on the Sandringham estate near the Prince of Wales’ home Anmer Hall.
According to Radar Online, the lagoon will store animal waste from farm animals and will be used as fertilizer for nearby farmland.
Estate officials revealed that the project is meant to support sustainable farming and reduce the use of chemical fertilizers.
However, many local residents are unhappy and worry about strong smells and the size of the project. "People here understand agriculture – we live with it every day – but this is on a completely different scale,” a resident said.
They added, “A lagoon of this size is bound to bring persistent odors, and that has left villagers deeply uneasy.
“There is real disbelief that something so intrusive is being placed so close to Anmer Hall, and a sense of irony that the decision ultimately sits with William's own father, the King. They must be at war over this."
The report claimed that despite objections from locals, the council ruled in favour of the development.
This has reportedly not sit well with William as Charles sees Sandringham mainly as a working farm, while the Prince of Wales sees the nearby home as a private space for his family.
“Charles approaches Sandringham first and foremost as a functioning agricultural operation that must be run efficiently.
“William, by contrast, regards Anmer Hall as a private refuge for his wife and children. Those two ways of seeing the estate inevitably clash."
"At this point, the planning details and the personal relationships are deeply intertwined,” added another insider.
“However practical the arguments may be on paper, it is impossible to ignore the family context. Inevitably, questions arise about what it means for the future king to have an industrial-scale manure facility positioned so close to his home."
