How royal family members earn their titles is one matter, but how much work they do with those titles is another. They make public appearances, complete charity work, and more. As TikTok user @matta_of_fact noted, a comprehensive list of official royal engagements can be found online, so anyone around the world can keep up with what the royals are up to — and if they’re earning their titles.
A new report from The Daily Mail shows that one particular royal has been earning their title more than others. The outlet revealed that Princess Anne, Queen Elizabeth II’s only daughter, did the most royal work in 2021, completing a whopping 387 official engagements. That’s more than one event per calendar day! Right behind her was Prince Charles with 385 engagements. The third royal, Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, came in at only 235 official duties.
Princess Anne also became the first royal family member to engage in official royal work in 2022. According to Hello!, Anne returned to work on January 6 this year. Interestingly, Anne revealed to Vanity Fair in 2020 that she would have become an engineer had she not been born into royalty. “The practicalities of how things work, I think, was always interesting as far as I was concerned,” she told the outlet. “But I think it was a little bit early in the sort of scheme of things to have gone down that route.”
Princess Anne’s work ethic appears to be fairly unmatched.
