King Charles’snephew, James, Earl of Wessex, has reportedly taken on an unusual summer job following his graduation from Radley College.

James, Earl of Wessex is trading royal duties for a tractor
According to The Sun, King Charles’s nephew, James, Earl of Wessex, is doing a summer job at Sandringham, Norfolk, England. The 18-year-old has been spotted driving tractors on the royal property.
“Everyone is so used to only seeing James smartly turned out with his family at functions at Christmas and Easter, so I had to do a double-take,” an estate worker stated. The individual continued, “He might be the King’s nephew, but he is more than happy to get his hands dirty and muck in.”
Moreover, the worker explained that “Driving tractors around Sandringham is not an easy task, and it can mean long hours.” He also shared that “learning a good work ethic at a young age can always help,” no matter how wealthy someone is.

The worker added, “The King is known for his fondness of the countryside.” Thus, “he couldn’t be prouder knowing the younger royals share his love.” For the unaware, James’s sister Lady Louise Windsor also took a part-time job during her summer break from university.
She decided to help out at the Royal Windsor Horse Show in Berkshire. A source told Hello that Lady Louise was “very polite and helpful” as she performed administrative tasks. “Duchess Sophie and Prince Edward provided Lady Louise and her brother James with as normal an upbringing as possible, and this is clearly reflected in her work ethic,” the insider explained.
James’s plans for the future remain unclear as he awaits his A-level results next week. HELLO!’s royal contributor explained that the young royal will first need to check his grades if he has applied to university, adding that he could potentially begin his studies as early as next month. However, James could also choose to take a gap year, following in the footsteps of several of his royal relatives.
