An unexpected “emergency issue” has hit King Charles’s Sandringham Estate in Norfolk!

On Thursday, May 1, GB News reported that the British Monarch’s one of the key royal residences, Sandringham Estate, has been forced to shut its door to visitors due to an “Emergency plumbing issue.”

According to the update, the royal manor’s toilets have not been functioning properly after a burst water main in the area.

As a result of the closure, the house, gardens, restaurants, and courtyard facilities at the Norfolk estate have been impacted.

The issue came to light after Anglian Water – a company that provides water supply, sewerage, and sewage treatment in the East of England – reported that the area's customers were facing the problem of “either very low water pressure or no water.”

In its official statement, the Royal Estate noted, "The Estate is currently closed all day to visitors due to an emergency plumbing issue. This includes The House, The Gardens, Sandringham Restaurant and Courtyard Facilities. We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding."
