Hands-on summer at Sandringham

Before starting university, James spent the summer working as a farmhand on King Charles’s Sandringham estate, driving tractors and helping with daily chores. Longtime workers said they were surprised to see him getting stuck in.

The move would align James with his sister, Lady Louise, who was announced as Louise Mountbatten-Windsor at her St Andrews graduation, and with relatives raised without expectations of full-time royal duty. Princess Anne did not give titles to Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall; Prince William remains the only one of Queen Elizabeth’s grandchildren with a full-time working royal role, after Prince Harry stepped back in 2020.
