King Charles could upset Prince William with building plans near his country estate

King Charles has unveiled controversial plans to build a giant slurry lagoon less than one kilometre from Prince William and Kate Middleton’s country residence, Anmer Hall.

According to documents submitted to King’s Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council, the Sandringham Estate intends to dig a manure pit the size of four Olympic swimming pools. 

The massive lagoon will store animal waste to be used as natural fertiliser for the King’s 2,700-hectare farmland, part of his mission to make royal agriculture more sustainable.

While the eco-minded monarch is likely thrilled by the project, locals aren’t quite as enthusiastic. 

One resident told reporters: “It’s going to be very smelly, not great for Prince William and his family when they come for a relaxing stay.”

The estate’s statement emphasised the environmental benefits, explaining that the lagoon will “support sustainable farming and biodiversity” across Sandringham’s wheat, barley, and oat fields.
