Prince Charles is reportedly planning to raise 500 cattle herd at his organic farmland in Sandringham. These cows will be allowed to spread over the field with its manure providing the natural fertilizer.
But with that much cattle in the estate, some locals reportedly worry about the stench in the air. The smell of the cattle's manure could permeate as far as half a mile away in Prince William and Kate Middleton's home in Anmer Hall.
Prince William and Kate, as well as the Cambridge kids - George, Charlotte, and Louis - are currently staying at Anmer Hall amid the stay-at-home orders of the U.K. government. The kids are also getting their share of outdoor play and farmland activities but if they stay longer in the Sandringham region, they might be pressed to stay indoors because of the stink.
Sources apparently told Daily Mail that those who live downwind to Prince Charles's Sandringham farm might not be spared from the smell. Prince William and Kate will have to put up with it as the cattle sheds are almost ready will likely be operational from October to March.
Prince Charles has been running the 20,000-acre farmland when his father, Prince Philip, retired from public office in 2017. Half of this property is leased to farmers who welcome the organic practices for its livestock.
Meanwhile, Prince Charles is still in isolation in Birkhall, Scotland with his wife, Camille, the Duchess of Cornwall. The Prince of Wales successfully recovered from COVID-19 after testing positive for coronavirus in late March.
Prince William confessed in an interview with BBC that he was concerned of his father's illnesses since he's over 70. The Duke of Cambridge said that his father fitted the profile of someone who was at great risk for COVID-19 complications.
Fortunately, Prince Charles had mild symptoms only and was out of self-isolation after a week. Prince William said his father found it hardest to stay in isolation the most since he was not able to go out and do his daily walk.
Before the coronavirus pandemic lockdown was imposed, Prince Charles was reportedly training Prince William to assume the Duchy of Cornwall, his other estate. Eventually, the second in line to the throne will have ownership of this land when his father becomes the king.
Meanwhile, Prince Charles and Prince William have been staying in touch through video conferencing and phone calls. The royals are staying put at home until the government lifts the lockdown.
