Princess Anne named hardest working Royal for second year in a row – beating King Charles

2022-12-19

Princess Annehas been named the hardest working royal for a second year in a row after having over 200 royal engagements over the course of this year.

The Princess Royal, 72, beat her brother King Charles and her mother, the late Queen Elizabeth, last year as well.

While she partook in 179 engagements last year, Anne has upped her game for 2022 and was part of a whopping 214, according toReboot SEO Company.

It’s likely Anne had more engagements this year in light of the late Queen’s poor mobility preventing her in taking part in some of her usual royal duties.

Coming in second place this year was Charles, 74, who attended 181 engagements.

Prince Edward, Earl Wessex also came up as one of the hardest working royals this year, attending 143 royal obligations.

Edward’s wifeSophie, Countess of Wessexcame in a close fourth, having been to 138 engagements this year – most of which will have likely been alongside her husband.

At the beginning of the month,the pair attended the Royal Variety togetherat London’s Royal Albert Hall.

The late Queen's youngest son and his wife of 23 years looked glamorous as they represented the Royal Family at the event, which was attended byPrince WilliamandKate Middletonlast year, although the couple didn't attend this year asthey were in the USat the time.

Prince Edward, 58, looked smart in a black tuxedo suit, whilst 57 year old Sophie – who was known to share a close bond with the late Queen – looked stunning in a silver floor-length gown.

With her blonde locks swept back in an elegant up-do for the evening, Sophie opted for subtle makeup that highlighted her features and a slick of rose lipstick.

The Royal chose a floaty long-sleeved dress that cinched in at the waist with a tied belt, and featured dainty buttons on the cuffs.

The news of this year's hardest working royal comes ahead ofThe Firm’s upcoming lavish Christmas plans.

Speaking to OK! about the family’s festivities, Jennie Bond said: “While I imagine there will be a gathering at Sandringham, whether it will be quite as extended as it used to be with the Queen, and with quite as many people, I’m not sure.

"Without the linchpin of the Queen holding together an often fractured family, they may suddenly decide to do their own thing."
