Princess Anne Crowned Hardest-Working Royal Again, King Charles Battles Health

In a remarkable display of dedication, Princess Anne has once again secured her title as the hardest-working royal, completing an impressive 217 engagements in 2024.

This achievement marks the fourth consecutive year that the Princess Royal has led the rankings, underscoring her unwavering commitment to her royal duties.

The latest findings come from a study conducted by the CO agency Reboot Online, which meticulously tracked the royal family's activities throughout the year using the Royal Court Circular.

The data covers engagements from January 1 to December 31, 2024, providing a comprehensive view of the royal workload.

This year has been particularly challenging for Princess Anne's brother, King Charles, who faced a cancer diagnosis at the beginning of 2024.

Despite undergoing treatment, he managed to complete 186 engagements, placing him in a commendable second position.

His efforts during a difficult time have certainly not gone unnoticed.

Princess Anne's workload saw a notable increase of 2.4 percent from 2023, when she completed 212 engagements.

November proved to be her busiest month, with a staggering 28 engagements lined up.

Her ability to maintain such a high level of activity is a testament to her resilience and dedication.

King Charles, while facing health challenges, experienced a 5.6 percent decrease in his engagements this year, down from 197 in 2023.

October was his most active month, with 26 engagements, but December is shaping up to be quieter, with only one official event on the calendar so far.

However, there's still potential for more events to be added as the year unfolds.

In an interesting twist, the Duke of Gloucester, Prince Richard, has made significant strides in the royal engagement rankings.

He claimed third place this year with 126 engagements, reflecting an impressive increase of 11.5 percent from the previous year.
