Highgrove Seeks Communications Executive To Boost Public Outreach

The move signals stepped-up engagement after a Prime Video documentary raised the gardens’ public profile.

Overview

  • The King’s Foundation advertised the role on LinkedIn, with Highgrove’s Instagram sharing a “last chance” reminder for applicants.
  • The job offers a £30,000 base salary and tasks include creating social posts, promoting events and workshops, supporting press activity, and taking photos when needed.
  • Highgrove’s Instagram audience stands at about 163,000 followers, showing a sizable channel for garden news and visitor updates.
  • Locals are challenging a separate plan for about 135 homes near Tetbury by Miller Homes, citing risks to royal privacy and close-protection arrangements under Section 128, with the planning process still unresolved.
  • Highgrove House remains private, while the gardens run guided tours from April to October under The King’s Foundation, a balance developed since the Duchy of Cornwall bought the estate in 1980 and recently showcased in Finding Harmony: A King’s Vision.
