Prince Charles is set to
make major changes under his role as steward of the estate at the Queen’s
royal estate in Norfolk.
According to the Mail+,
Charles, who is having to step in for the Monarch more and more due to her
mobility issues, is “marking his mark” with exciting plans for
Sandringham as he begins to also take over important behind-the-scenes
responsibilities.
The publication dubbed
Sandringham as the Prince’s new “passion project” and has seen him
take inspiration from his “beloved Highgrove” home in the Cotswolds
to make renovations such as selling Sandringham-branded goods like lipgloss and
gin in the gift shop.
Charles has also created
an organic farm on the grounds of the estate, which will see 500 rare-breed
cattle living between Sandringham House and Anmer Hall – the country home
of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Sandringham is very special to the Queen
The Duke of Cornwall has also
made a menu swap in the grounds’ restaurant, “focusing on more local
seasonal produce,” and there is also allegedly a new playground for
children to enjoy, which is impressively designed as mini landmarks.
The Prince, who originally
took over management of the Sandringham estate from Prince Philip in 2017,
began implementing sustainable processes in its farm and gardens and his latest
efforts are to ensure the estate will be able to become fully organic in the
coming years.
The Sandringham Estate holds
many fond memories for the Queen and wider royal family, as it is where they
have traditionally celebrated Christmas together prior to the coronavirus
pandemic, while Her Majesty typically spends her entire winter break there
until early February.

The royals are known to have spend Christmas at Sandringham
Prince Philip chose to spend
the majority of his time at Wood Farm on the estate following his retirement in
2017.
The Queen has recently enjoyed
a private mini break at her Sandringham estate and last week, she was
spotted in the passenger seat of her Range Rover as she was chauffeured around
her estate.
The monarch, 96, appeared in
good spirits and was seen in her more casualwear, donning a shirt, sunglasses,
a pair of pearl earrings and no hat as she normally would for official public
engagements.
