King Charles’s Sandringham Estate in Norfolk has been forced to close to visitors today due to an “emergency plumbing issue”.
The royal estate has shut its doors because the toilets are not working following a burst water main in the area.
The closure comes after Anglian Water reported that customers in Sandringham were experiencing “either very low water pressure or no water”.
The closure affects the house, gardens, restaurant and courtyard facilities at the Norfolk estate.
