With food bills set to rise by an average of £275 this year, everyone will be looking for ways to cut costs on groceries.

And while you can try and do this by visiting the UK’s cheapest supermarket for your weekly food shop, there’s also a little known way to save 50% when ordering items from the likes of Sainsbury’s, Asda or Morrisons for a top up.

If you find yourself reaching for Deliveroo on days where you just can’t be bothered to go out, then you’ll want to keep reading.

That’s because the delivery app has launched a new deal that allows customers to bag themselves half-price food. 

The Fridge Filler Monday offer is live every Monday and allows shoppers to save 50% on selected fresh and chilled items from Sainsbury’s, Co-op, Asda, Iceland, Morrisons and more. 

This includes everything from fruit and vegetables to meat, fish, poultry, dairy, eggs, bakery and products like ready meals.

Discounts are available nationwide and the best part is that there’s no minimum spend requirement to use it. But there is a bit of a catch.

The T&Cs state that only 90% of customers are eligible for the offer, so while it’s the vast majority, not everyone is able to use it.

Savvy shopper Lauren Kaye (@_thekayfamily on TikTok) shared a look at an order she’d placed using the Fridge Filler offer at Iceland. The total came to £18 and included part-baked baguettes, bananas, soft pittas, a tiger bloomer, a pineapple, crisps, frozen pizzas, TGI Fridays potato skins, chicken breast fillets and Lurpak butter. 

For Lauren, the butter was the real standout of her shop, as she managed to nab the ‘absolute bargain’ for ‘just a quid’.

Deliveroo isn’t the only platform with a similar offer, as Uber Eats also has a Fresh Mondays promotion, which allows customers to buy half-price fruit and vegetables (selected items) at the start of each week.

Supermarkets that are featured in this deal including Sainsbury’s, Co-op, Iceland, Asda and Morrisons. 

The discount is automatically applied at checkout, but delivery and service fees still apply.

Just Eat doesn’t have a consistent weekly promotion, however they do sometimes run Half Price Wednesday offers. So it’s worth checking the app to see what’s available.

Other ways to get money off your weekly shop

If you’d prefer to still head to the supermarket to stock up on groceries, instead of ordering on an app, then there are still some ways to save money this summer, as Aldi and Iceland are offering millions of families money off their weekly shop.

Iceland and The Food Warehouse are offering a great way to get money off your weekly shop, from June 30, until August 30, 2025.

The supermarkets will be accepting free school meal vouchers to get you money off your groceries.

The money you get off your shop is dependent on the monetary value of your free school meal vouchers, which varies depending on your council, but is typically £15 a week.

What’s more, is if you spend the minimum of £15 of School Meal Gift Cards, then you can get an extra £5 off your shop.

This is as long as you have a registered Iceland and The Food Warehouse Bonus Card. You’ll need to scan it in store when completing your shop, and then wait up to seven working days for the £5 bonus to be credited onto your card.

Meanwhile, Aldi has launched its Summer Support Scheme which will see vouchers given away every day over the six-week break in July and August.

This one is more of a competition format and, to enter, you’ll need to send your name and email address to SummerSupportScheme@aldi.co.uk to be eligible.

Of all the families that do this, one will be chosen at random each day to receive a £50 voucher to spend in store. There are a total of 62 vouchers up for grabs.

Hollywood stars honored Malcolm-Jamal Warner with moving tributes to “The Cosby Show” actor shared one day after his drowning death in Costa Rica. He was 54.

Jamie Foxx, Beyoncé and Kate Hudson were just a few colleagues who paid respects online to Warner.

“Speechless on this one,” Foxx shared on Instagram Monday with a photo of “The Resident” star. “Rest in power, my brother.”

Beyoncé added an image of Warner to her website, and wrote, “Rest in power, Malcolm-Jamal Warner. For being a big part of our shared television history. You will be missed.”

“Spent time working on a film in Australia with Malcolm and he was the kindest and sweetest,” Kate Hudson wrote on her Instagram stories. “My heart is heavy and sending such love to @malcolmjamalwar family.”

HOLLYWOOD STARS WHO DIED IN 2025

“Heartbroken to hear about the passing of Malcolm-Jamal Warner. Working alongside him on The Resident was an honor,” Morris Chestnut shared online. “He brought so much depth, warmth, and wisdom to every scene and every conversation. One of the nicest in the business. Rest easy, brother. Your legacy lives on.”

“Everyone at Fox is heartbroken by the tragic loss of our friend and colleague, the extraordinary Malcolm-Jamal Warner,” the network said in a statement shared with The Associated Press. “While his iconic roles – from comedic to dramatic – are unforgettable and timeless, Malcolm will be remembered most for his warmth, kind heart and the lasting impact he had on his friends, family and fans everywhere. Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with his family and loved ones.”

Warner’s former “9-1-1” co-star Jennifer Love Hewitt posted in her Instagram stories, “I cannot believe this. This hurts my heart. A gentleman, an incredible talent and we were so lucky to have him in the 911 family. Heartbroken and sending love to his family.”

Tracee Ellis Ross shared a carousel of images with Warner online, and wrote, “I love you, Malcolm. First I met you as Theo with the rest of the world then you were my first TV husband. My heart is so so sad. What an actor and friend you were: warm, gentle, present, kind, thoughtful, deep, funny, elegant. You made the world a brighter place. Sending so much love to your family. I’m so sorry for this unimaginable loss.”

Viola Davis wrote on Instagram, “I actually am speechless!!!!! No words! Theo was our son, our brother, our friend… He was absolutely so familiar, and we rejoiced at how TV got it right!! But… Malcolm got it right… and now… we reveled in your life and are gutted by this loss. Blessings and prayers to your family and loved ones… We will speak your name—always.”

Taraji P. Henson admitted Warner’s death “hurt” in a post shared online. “Malcolm, we grew up with you,” she wrote. “Thank you for the art, the wisdom, the grace you gave us!!!!! You left the world better than you found it. Rest easy, king!!!! Your legacy lives far beyond the screen.”

Warner co-hosted the “Not All Hood” podcast with Candace Kelly, a platform where different lived experiences were discussed from within the Black community.

“We’re heartbroken by the unexpected passing of Malcolm-Jamal Warner,” the Fanbase network said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital. “On Fanbase, he showed us what it means to be a creator with purpose, Malcolm brought intention, integrity, and brilliance wherever he was. His legacy runs deep and we were honored to witness it. His voice as a Black man in America shaped generations and reminded creators everywhere of the power of speaking truth through their work.The Fanbase community joins the world in mourning his loss and honoring the impact he had on culture. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all those who were inspired by his light.”

Warner was swimming Sunday at Playa Grande de Cocles in the Limon province when a current pulled him into deeper waters, Costa Rica’s Judicial Investigation Department claimed.

“He was rescued by people on the beach,” an initial report stated, but first responders could not revive the actor. 

Warner gained fame as the son of Heathcliff Huxtable, played by Bill Cosby, on “The Cosby Show” from 1984 to 1992. He appeared in all 197 episodes of the NBC sitcom.

In 1986, Warner earned an Emmy nomination for best supporting actor in a comedy.

The show’s legacy was tarnished after Cosby was accused of sexual assault. Cosby’s 2018 conviction was overturned in 2021. Since then, five more women have come forward with accusations against the comedian.

Despite the controversy, Warner was still proud of the show.

“Regardless of how some people may feel about the show now, I’m still proud of the legacy and having been a part of such an iconic show that had such a profound impact on – first and foremost, Black culture – but also American culture,” Warner told People magazine in 2023.

A federal judge has sentenced former Louisville police officer Brett Hankison to 33 months in prison for violating the civil rights of Breonna Taylor, who was killed in 2020 by law enforcement during a botched drug raid.

Hankison, 49, was convicted last year of violating Taylor’s civil rights, which could have resulted in a maximum sentence of life in prison. U.S. District Court Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, handed down the sentence on Monday afternoon.

Last week, the U.S. Justice Department asked a federal judge to sentence him to just one day in prison and three years of supervised probation, noting in a court filing that he “did not shoot Ms. Taylor and is not otherwise responsible for her death.”

“It is unfathomable that, after finally securing a conviction, the Department of Justice would seek a sentence so drastically below the federal guidelines,” a statement from national civil rights attorneys Ben Crump, Lonita Baker and Sam Aguiar, who represent the family of Taylor, said in a statement.

FORMER DC COP WHO LIED ABOUT LEAKING INFO TO PROUD BOYS LEADER GETS PRISON TIME

“This sets a dangerous precedent. When a police officer is found guilty of violating someone’s constitutional rights, there must be real accountability and justice,” it said. 

Taylor, a Black woman, was killed by police in 2020 after they executed a no-knock warrant during a botched raid of her home. Her boyfriend, who was carrying a legally owned firearm, shot at police, prompting them to fire back 22 times into the apartment.

Her death, as well as the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, sparked mass racial justice protests around the country.

The Civil Rights Division during former Democratic President Joe Biden’s tenure brought criminal charges against the officers involved in both Taylor and Floyd’s death.

A separate jury deadlocked on federal charges against Hankison in 2023, and he was acquitted on state charges of wanton endangerment in 2022.

Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner shared a video Monday afternoon on social media showing falling roof tiles at the HUD agency’s D.C. headquarters amid the agency’s efforts to relocate its headquarters under the Trump administration. 

The video of the damaged building comes after Turner announced last month that HUD would be relocating its headquarters down the road to Alexandria, Virginia. 

Turner previously cited the fact that the D.C. building is facing over $500 million in “deferred maintenance” costs, while only half of HUD’s D.C. headquarters is currently being used. He has also argued the building is not safe, which he further illustrated in a Monday post on X.

HUD BECOMES FIRST MAJOR CABINET AGENCY TO EXIT DC, CITING ‘FAILING’ HQ — WHICH DOGE WANTS TO SELL

“The current HUD HQ is falling apart everywhere you turn. I witnessed this firsthand today,” Turner captioned his video posted to X Monday afternoon. “It’s not suitable for HUD staff or the people we serve. Moving day can’t come soon enough.”

Turner showed “damaged roof tiles,” which he described as water-logged and “leaking.” The video showed a gaping hole in the roof of the HUD headquarters, with a trash heap beneath it full of what appeared to be broken roof tiles from the inside of the building that fell. 

“Did this fall on anyone?” Turner asked in the video, after which someone behind the camera confirms it did not. “Well,” Turner replied. “It won’t be long. It won’t be long.”

TRUMP’S HOUSING CHIEF RIPS POWELL FOR BLOWING MILLIONS ON FED FACELIFT DURING HOUSING CRISIS HE PERPETUATES 

The HUD building will relocate from the Robert C. Weaver Federal Building to 2415 Eisenhower Avenue in Alexandria, where the National Science Foundation (NSF) is housed, but no indication has been made about when that move will be finalized. The move marks the first major executive agency under Trump to relocate its headquarters.

The relocation effort will be a staggered process that will ultimately relocate approximately 2,700 HUD employees currently based at the D.C. headquarters building, according to the General Services Administration (GSA). 

In addition to saving on deferred maintenance costs, the relocation will also save taxpayers roughly $56 million in annual rent and operations expenditures, according to HUD.

“This is about the HUD employees to have a safe space, to have a nice place to work, to represent the people that we serve in America,” Turner said during a press conference formally announcing the relocation last month. “This is not about the secretary. This is about the posterity and the future of HUD.”

NSF staff met this week to discuss how they will handle the HUD relocation, including a potential relocation themselves, local reporting out of Alexandria indicated.

Imagine showing up to your weekly ice hockey game to play with some of your friends and local talent, but two of the best players in the NHL are ready to face-off against you. 

Edmonton Oilers stars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl were quite the ringers at the Magna Centre in Newmarket, Ontario, last Wednesday for the beer league game, but they were actually outscored by their opponents, who have quite the hockey story for the rest of their lives. 

The rink is just minutes away from where McDavid grew up, and he had his partner in crime donned in an Oilers jersey with him on the ice.

Fans in the stands couldn’t believe their eyes as they watched McDavid and Draisaitl play against loved ones and friends. But the Edmonton stars didn’t have the usual point tallies on the night. 

In fact, neither player scored a goal.

OILERS TIE STANLEY CUP FINAL WITH OVERTIME COMEBACK VICTORY IN FRONT OF TAYLOR SWIFT, TRAVIS KELCE

Instead, there were clips that went viral on social media of the other team’s goalie making some sweet saves on McDavid’s shots. 

Now, it is worth noting neither NHL All-Star was skating full speed and trying to do their patented offensive wizardry on the ice. However, they reportedly found themselves down 4-0 after the first period and eventually lost the game, 6-2. 

On-ice officials at the rink were reportedly given notice that the Oilers players were going to play, per TSN. 

McDavid spoke with ESPN, who said it wasn’t his first time jumping on the ice in this league that he used to play in during his junior hockey days. In fact, in 2023, he dropped by to play in the championship game against a team that sported Quinton Byfield on their bench, the Los Angeles Kings star. 

“That’s a league I played in with my buddies for over 10 years now,” McDavid told ESPN. “We joined that league back when I played junior hockey. I was a little bit surprised to see it get blown up. I’ve been playing in those games for over a decade now. So, it’s pretty funny that it just kind of came up.”

Perhaps McDavid and Draisaitl needed some good vibes with local players after yet another loss to the Florida Panthers in the Stanley Cup Final. 

They will try once more during the 2025-26 season to defend their Western Conference title, and hope they can lift Lord Stanley’s Cup instead of going home empty-handed. 

While Draisaitl is locked in with the Oilers for the future after inking an eight-year deal last year, McDavid is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent following this season.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Monday released a video showing an illegal alien suspected of shooting an off-duty Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer being dumped outside a Bronx hospital by another suspect.

The video shows a man in a red shirt riding a black moped into what appears to be a hospital bay, and subsequently pushing a passenger in a white shirt onto the ground. The passenger slinks off the moped before the driver flees the scene. 

DHS said in a post on X that the video shows the suspects on the same moped that was also captured on video at the scene of the shooting. “These individuals will face the full weight of the U.S. Justice System,” DHS added in the post.

Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez is accused of shooting the CBP officer during an attempted robbery in Fort Washington Park late Saturday night. The CBP officer was hanging out in the park with a companion when police say Nunez and another suspect pulled up on the moped and tried to rob the officer at gunpoint. The officer pulled out his own service weapon to defend himself. Both Nunez and the officer were shot multiple times. 

TEXAS BORDER PATROL SHOOTER DETAILS REMAIN SCANT AS VIOLENCE AGAINST ICE, CBP AGENTS SURGES

The officer, who has not been named, was shot in the face and arm. He is expected to recover.

Nunez entered the U.S. illegally at the Arizona border in 2023. He was released into the country under the Biden administration. At the time of his arrest for the shooting, he had an active warrant for kidnapping in Massachusetts and multiple prior felony arrests, according to DHS. 

On Monday, the second person was arrested in connection with the shooting. 

Cristian Aybar Berroa of the Dominican Republic, who “illegally entered the United States on June 19, 2022, and was released into the country on interim parole pending his immigration hearing,” was taken into custody, DHS said Monday upon his arrest. 

He is suspected of committing several crimes while on parole, including 2nd degree reckless endangerment in May 2023 and 4th degree felony grand larceny and petit larceny in March and April 2024.

In February of this year, Berroa was arrested for 2nd degree reckless endangerment, reckless driving and for driving without a license, according to DHS.

“On June 12, 2025, Berroa pled guilty to petit larceny at the Bronx County Supreme Court. This plea was made in consolidation of all his previous arrests, and he was conditionally discharged and allowed to roam the streets of NYC,” it also said. “A judge ordered Berroa a final order of removal on January 3, 2023.” 

New York is a sanctuary city for illegal aliens, and does not comply with ICE detainer holds. 

Nuna and Berroa are expected to face federal charges.

“Superman” director James Gunn suggested on Sunday that the film’s underperformance overseas could be from “anti-American sentiment” around the world.

Though “Superman” had the third-highest opening weekend in the U.S. for 2025 at $125 million, the film only grossed about $95 million internationally over the same weekend, according to Box Office Mojo.

Gunn acknowledged that the film is “definitely performing better domestically,” but argued that there were additional factors that led to it underperforming in some countries, such as Superman’s status as an American figure.

‘SUPERMAN’ DIRECTOR’S BROTHER SAYS ANTI-IMMIGRANT MAGA PEOPLE ARE ‘AGAINST THE AMERICAN WAY’

“Superman is not a known commodity in some places,” Gunn told Rolling Stone Magazine. “He is not a big known superhero in some places like Batman is. That affects things. And it also affects things that we have a certain amount of anti-American sentiment around the world right now. It isn’t really helping us.”

Gunn added that the film opened well in Brazil and the U.K., with rising numbers in other countries due to positive word of mouth.

Warner Bros. Discovery declined to comment on the matter when asked by Fox News Digital. 

Gunn originally faced backlash for his film just days before its release after saying that the movie would be “about politics” and how the “Superman” story is about immigration.

‘SUPERMAN’ DIRECTOR JAMES GUNN ADDRESSES ‘SUPERWOKE’ BACKLASH FOR HIS MOVIE

“Superman is the story of America,” Gunn told The Sunday Times earlier this month. “An immigrant that came from other places and populated the country, but for me, it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost.”

Gunn was later asked about the “SuperWoke” backlash by Entertainment Weekly on Friday.

“I’ve heard people say it was woke, and then I’ve heard a lot of people say it’s not,” Gunn said. “I am curious as to what in the movie is considered woke.”

NFL training camp hasn’t even started yet, and drama speculation has already begun with the Dallas Cowboys. 

Cowboys team owner and general manager Jerry Jones spoke with reporters on Monday, and as he has in the past, he dropped some controversial material that star defensive end Micah Parsons didn’t seem to like. 

Jones said he wasn’t frustrated with how the current contract negotiations with Parsons are going, adding that he is “appreciative” of the edge rusher being in camp with them going on.

However, Jones randomly took a shot at Parsons, saying that even if they do find the right numbers in the deal, it doesn’t mean they will have him on the field. Jones said that Parsons was hurt six games last season, though he was only out four due to injury. 

Jones also brought up quarterback Dak Prescott, the highest-paid at the position in the league after signing an extension before the 2024 season, who played just eight games last year due to injury.  

COWBOYS’ DAK PRESCOTT SAYS LEGACY TAKES A BACK SEAT IN SUPER BOWL PURSUIT, WANTS TO WIN FOR PERSONAL ‘SANITY’

J.J. Watt, the ex-Houston Texans great pass rusher, took to social media to bark back at Jones, and Parsons retweeted it on Monday. 

“Anytime you can publicly take a dig at your star quarterback and your star pass rusher simultaneously, right before the season begins, you just gotta take it…” Watt wrote on X, sarcastically. 

“Nothing makes guys want to fight for you more than hearing how upset you are that they got hurt while fighting for you.”

Since entering the NFL as the 12th overall pick to the Cowboys in 2021, Parsons has racked up 52.5 sacks over 63 games, which includes a 12-sack season in 2024. He also has 63 tackles for loss, 112 quarterback hits and nine forced fumbles over that span.

Parsons has cemented himself as one of the best edge rushers in the sport, and he’s looking to be paid as such. 

The Cowboys, meanwhile, shelled out Prescott’s contract along with star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, whose contract is the third-highest in the league at $34 million per season. 

Off the edge, Pittsburgh Steelers star T.J. Watt, arguably the best defensive player in the league, just got paid $41 million per season over the next three years, while Cleveland Browns stud Myles Garrett is just behind him at $40 million per season. With Houston Texans’ Danielle Hunter making over $34 million per season, and sitting third-highest behind Garrett and Watt after tallying 45 sacks since 2021, Parsons is likely looking for a contract above his.

It will be telling to see what the Cowboys end up doing this preseason with Parsons, who will be playing on his fifth-year option. If a contract isn’t figured out by the start of the next league year, Parsons will be a free agent unless he is franchise tagged.

An accused anti-Israel arsonist has turned himself in to authorities five weeks after allegedly torching 10 New York City Police Department (NYPD) vehicles and a police trailer, authorities announced Monday. 

Jakhi Lodgson-McCray, 21, of New Jersey, was identified in mid-June through forensics and video evidence, and the U.S. Marshals Regional Fugitive Task Force “was hot on his trail” when he turned himself in without incident, accompanied by his lawyer and mother, at a food bazaar in Brooklyn to face federal arson charges, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch announced on Monday.

The NYPD has estimated the total replacement cost of the burned vehicles is over $800,000.

In requesting a detention order ahead of his initial court appearance, U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella of the Eastern District of New York noted McCray set fire to the NYPD vehicles the Thursday before protests were scheduled over the June 14-15 weekend, “thereby compromising NYPD resources to protect and secure the public.” 

TRUMP DEMANDS END TO CASHLESS BAIL, SAYS ‘COMPLETE DISASTER’ DRIVING CRIME IN CITIES, ENDANGERING POLICE

The day after the NYPD vehicles were torched, McCray was arrested for allegedly lighting Israeli and American flags on fire outside the Israeli consulate in midtown Manhattan on June 13. He hadn’t yet been identified as a suspect in the burning of the NYPD vehicles. McCray, therefore, was charged only with reckless endangerment, menacing and disorderly conduct at the time and was subsequently released. New York’s cashless bail law limits pre-trial detention for “non-violent” offenses. 

Federal prosecutors told the judge Monday that McCray’s alleged conduct “was extraordinarily dangerous,” asserting that lighting ten NYPD vehicles, as well as a trailer, on fire “in a populated area of Brooklyn shows a wanton disregard not only for NYPD officers who could have been near the scene and injured, but also for others in the area who could have been injured by the fires or involved in an accident.”

“The defendant’s criminal conduct caused law-abiding citizens to fear simply driving or walking around their community,” prosecutors wrote. 

“Given the nature of the crime charged, there is a statutory presumption of detention, and the defendant should be detained as he poses a significant danger to the community and a risk of flight,” they wrote. 

At approximately 12:52 a.m. on June 12, police said McCray was captured on surveillance video scaling the fence of a locked parking lot reserved for NYPD vehicles assigned to Brooklyn North. During the 32 minutes that he remained in the lot, 10 NYPD vehicles and one trailer were set on fire, according to the complaint. An officer came to inspect the lot at about 1:24 a.m. and witnessed McCray inside by the burning vehicles. McCray attempted to scale the fence to leave, but the officer blocked his route. 

McCray was forced to double back and then fled through an existing hole in the fence, court documents say.

“NYPD personnel discovered what appeared to be a cigar lighter torch and a pair of sunglasses in the portion of the lot where the defendant Jakhi McCray hopped the fence and made entry to the lot,” court documents say. “NYPD personnel also discovered that 22 retail fire starters consisting of 12 ‘jealous devil boom starters’ and 10 BBQ dragon egg fire starers were placed on 3 unburnt vehicles. These fire starters had not been left by NYPD personnel.” 

Court documents say McCray’s wallet and identification card can be seen on surveillance video when he paid for water about a 14-minute walk away from the NYPD lot around 1:51 a.m. He was wearing similar attire – a gray hooded sweatshirt and a blue surgical mask – seen in body-camera footage when he was arrested previously on May 19, investigators said. 

Federal prosecutors asked the judge to consider the strong weight of the evidence against McCray, as well as McCray’s criminal history, noting he was arrested for criminally reckless conduct in the recent past. 

On May 28, McCray was arrested for obstructing government administration, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest in connection with a demonstration. In May 2024, McCray was similarly arrested for resisting arrest, obstructing government administration, attempted assault in the third degree and disorderly conduct in connection with another demonstration, federal prosecutors said. 

The NYPD issued a press release on June 18 with photos of McCray to alert the public that he was wanted for arson. Instead of turning himself in, prosecutors said, McCray allegedly destroyed his cell phone in an effort to avoid arrest. 

“Nearly five weeks after committing the offense, the defendant ultimately self-surrendered after his lawyer and law enforcement coordinated in arranging his self-surrender,” the detention request said. 

While he remained on the lam, McCray skipped out on a June 18 court conference related to a separate case being prosecuted in Queens Criminal Court.

“The defendant’s failure to adhere to court scheduled conferences and his delay in surrendering clearly indicate that he is a flight risk,” federal prosecutors wrote. 

King Charles III allegedly can’t keep his gardeners around.

Eleven out of 12 gardeners have left the team tasked with working at Highgrove House since 2022, according to The Sunday Times. At least one staffer filed a complaint, claiming they were “under-resourced and constantly struggling to fulfill the King’s request.” 

Members of the staff have “developed physical injuries trying to keep up, and that the team suffered from low morale,” the outlet reported.

When a staff member revealed “a lack of knowledge about a particular flower,” the king allegedly said: “Don’t put that man in front of me again.”

The King’s Foundation maintained that staff turnover is “well below” the national average when reached by Fox News Digital.

“At The King’s Foundation, we take staff welfare extremely seriously and strive to be an exemplary employer,” a spokesperson for the King’s Foundation said. “We are proud to regularly report very high satisfaction rates in our annual staff survey. Our staff turnover is well below the national average, as is the number of formal grievances raised. For the gardening team at Highgrove specifically, we regularly review guidance from the Professional Gardeners Guild for pay benchmarking.”

“Highgrove has also seen many positive developments since The King’s Foundation became the charitable custodian of the gardens. Since 2022, the operating profit has more than doubled, a new education facility teaching traditional heritage skills to hundreds of students has been established, and visitor numbers continue to reach over 40,000 annually.”
