According to a royal expert, Princess Anne is a tireless worker who is unlikely to ever retire.
In 2023, she emerged as the hardest-working member of the royal family, having undertaken a remarkable 457 engagements.
King Charles followed closely behind with 425 engagements, while Prince Edward came in third with 297.
This is not the first time that Princess Anne has claimed the top spot; she also did so in 2022 and on numerous occasions throughout her royal career.
On the other hand, King Charles held the record for the most engagements as the Prince of Wales in 2019 and 2020.
The royal expert commended Princess Anne for her significant contributions and unwavering dedication to the monarchy.
However, they cautioned that King Charles may face challenges due to his plans for a more streamlined monarchy.
In an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams expressed admiration for Princess Anne, stating that she is highly respected and admired, with a long-standing reputation.
Additionally, he highlighted her aversion to unnecessary attention and the publicity that often accompanies the charitable endeavors of the Waleses.
Prince William and Princess Kate carried out a combined total of 172 and 128 engagements respectively this year.
However, the majority of duties were fulfilled by senior members of the royal family.
The expert further explained that there may be a need to reduce the number of royal engagements in the future, as there are limited working royals available until Prince William and Princess Kate’s children reach adulthood.
Currently, there are only four working royals under the age of 70, posing a potential challenge that may necessitate a reduction in engagements until Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis can actively participate in royal activities.
King Charles has long advocated for a streamlined monarchy, a promise he reiterated upon assuming the throne last year.
However, following the departure of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in 2020, Charles has been cautioned about the possibility of burnout due to the high number of engagements and the average age of the working members.
