BRITAIN'S weak economy has taken its toll on the nation's poshest greengrocer with Prince Charles forced to close his organic vegetable store, citing falling trade and rising prices.
Prince Charles, the heir to the throne and a champion of the environment, opened a store near to his country home Highgrove in Gloucestershire, eight years ago after converting his estate to organic farming in 1986. The store, The Veg Shed, sold organic vegetables and fruit freshly grown on the estate's Duchy Home Farm.
