King Charles' chicken coop at Highgrove has a name that will make you do a double take
King Charles showcases his chicken coop, humorously named 'Cluckingham Palace,' in a recent tour with photographer Chris Jackson, highlighting his passion for the environment.
King Charles recently provided a glimpse into his personal life by leading a tour of his chicken coop, humorously called 'Cluckingham Palace,' which is located at his Highgrove estate. This tour was documented by longtime royal photographer Chris Jackson, who has been capturing images of the King for over two decades. The chicken coop's playful name is a cheeky reference to Buckingham Palace, and it reflects the King's affection for both his chickens and the natural environment surrounding his estate.
In addition to showcasing Cluckingham Palace, the tour was also part of Jackson’s new photo book, 'Modern Majesty.' The book and accompanying insights emphasize Charles’s commitment to environmental sustainability and his love for the rural countryside. Jackson noted the charm of a particular image showing the King feeding his Burford Brown and Maran chickens, revealing a more relatable and down-to-earth side to the monarch.
The newfound fame of Cluckingham Palace, recently highlighted in the Amazon Prime Video documentary 'Finding Harmony: A King’s Vision,' has captivated audiences who may not have been aware of King Charles's poultry interests. The story not only humanizes the monarch but also serves as a reminder of his longstanding commitment to environmental issues, demonstrating how his leisurely activities align with his broader vision for a sustainable future.
