Aimee's 2025 royal family engagement count: The final results!
Disclaimer; everyone's counts will be different, people have different rules to their method of counting the Court Circular. It isn't a definitive count and is done just for fun 💖
The court circular doesn't record any work behind the scenes, only public engagements, official meetings and luncheons/ dinners. It's more a gauge of their public facing roles.
2025 has been a very busy year with many of the royals visiting lots of countries, representing the King and supporting charities and organisations close to their hearts!
👑 King Charles III 👑
Topping the league table this year is HMTK!!! This has been a tough year for King Charles with his ongoing cancer treatment, but he has still managed to pull off a staggering number of engagements!
In the third year of his reign King Charles did a grand total of 503 engagements.
In the UK he did 467 engagements.
He travelled to 4 different countries where he completed 36 engagements and did royal tours of Poland, Italy, Canada and the Vatican. 🇵🇱🇮🇹🇨🇦🇻🇦
He also hosted a state visits for France, USA and Germany at Windsor Castle. 🥂
What is also worth mentioning is that he has Red Boxes that he has to go through every single day, except Christmas Day and Easter Sunday as well as a lot of work behind the scenes.
Out of a total of 35 investiture ceremonies held, King Charles held 10. 🎖️
Princess Anne
2025 started off like any other year for the Princess Royal. She was the first royal to get back to work, on the 6th January. She was also the first royal to go on an overseas visit this year, to South Africa!
Although HRH comes in second place to her brother, she did the most public facing engagements in the UK at around the world!!!
She has done 376 engagements in the UK.
She travelled to 14 different countries this year and did 93 engagements there. 🇿🇦🇨🇭🇫🇷🇬🇷🇹🇷🇬🇬🇨🇶🇧🇧🇧🇪🇮🇪🇺🇦🇯🇪🇦🇺🇸🇬
Dubbed by some as the unofficial Queen of Scots she did 53 in Scotland. 🏴
Out of a total of 35 investiture ceremonies held, Princess Anne held 16, and even held investitures at St James’s Palace, the first ceremony’s to be held there since the pandemic. 🎖️
Prince Edward, The Duke of Edinburgh
The Duke of Edinburgh carried on his brilliant work with the Duke of Edinburgh award and travelling to visit international sections of the award. Prince Edward also visited a lot of theatre related organisations and youth centres and charities.
HRH represented his brother at the Inaugural Mass for Pope Leo XIV at St Peter’s Sqaure in the Vatican in May.
He completed 302 engagements this year and visited 9 countries on solo tours and with his wife. 🇺🇸🇪🇪🇮🇳🇮🇹🇨🇦🇵🇬🇸🇬🇳🇬🇬🇭
Sophie, The Duchess of Edinburgh
In 2025 Sophie carried on her hard work in areas like women's rights in disadvantaged areas, avoidable blindness, hygiene and agriculture. She went on confidential visits to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, focusing her attention on women's rights and the children's safety of these countries. She also maintained her strong work in the UK by visiting children's charities, meeting mothers and standing for what is right.
She completed 220 engagements this year in the UK and the commonwealth and visited 9 countries on solo tours and with her husband. 🇺🇸🇧🇪🇧🇦🇨🇦🇨🇩🇵🇪🇵🇦🇬🇹🇧🇿
Queen Camilla
In the third year of her husbands reign, Queen Camilla carried out 219 engagements.
She visited 3 countries this year including accompanying her husband on official tours of Italy, Canada and the Vatican where she did 28 engagements whilst on official tours. 🇮🇹🇨🇦🇻🇦
She focused a lot of her engagements this year on sectors close to her heart like women's & children's charities, osteoporosis care and animal welfare.
Prince Richard, The Duke of Gloucester
The Duke of Gloucester has this year completed 208 engagements in the UK.
He continued his long lasting work in heritage, architecture, the St John's Ambulance and military organisations.
This year HRH and his wife visited Copenhagen to mark 80 years since the liberation of Denmark. He also visited Washington DC. 🇩🇰🇺🇸
Prince William, The Prince of Wales
This year we saw the Prince of Wales' carry out 203 engagements in the UK and around the world!
He continued to carry out his important duties in areas like homelessness, mental health and conservation with Earthshot and attended the Earthshot Prize ceremony in Brazil!
HRH represented his father at the Funeral of Pope Francis in April.
Prince William travelled to 5 countries where he did 33 engagements. 🇪🇪🇻🇦🇲🇨🇨🇭🇧🇷
Out of a total of 35 investiture ceremonies held, Prince William held 9. 🎖️
Birgitte, The Duchess of Gloucester
The Duchess of Gloucester has this year completed 102 engagements in the UK. She continued her long lasting work in sports, the arts (Opera, Ballet, Acting etc...) and accompanying her husband to official engagements.
In October HRH visited Bermuda to mark the 60th anniversary of the Royal Bermuda Regiment, of which she is Colonel-in-Chief. She also visited Denmark in May. 🇧🇲🇩🇰
Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence
Although not an official working royal, Sir Tim often attends as a great support to his wife's engagements as well as having his own non-royal patronages and interests. In 2025 he became the new President of the Kent County Cricket Club and carried on his work with the Science Museum as Chair of the Board of Trustees.
He accompanied his wife to a total of 93 engagements and accompanied her to 57 engagements abroad in 7 countries. 🇫🇷🇹🇷🇬🇬🇨🇶🇧🇪🇦🇺🇸🇬
When we see Sir Tim carry out his own solo engagements, they aren't included on the Court Circular as he's not an official working royal, so if they were to be his engagement count would be a lot higher.

Prince Edward, The Duke of Kent.
This year, the Duke of Kent turned 90 years old!!! Even though he has started to slow down, he is still entirely devoted to his charities and organisations and has carried out 78 engagements even with his ailing mobility.
He continued his valued hard work with organisations like the Scouts, the Royal British Legion and the RNLI.
In February HRH visited Germany for the Eightieth Anniversary of the destruction of Dresden. 🇩🇪
Catherine, The Princess of Wales
This year we saw the Princess of Wales return to more regular engagements!
Her work heavily focused on her core initiatives of early childhood development and health advocacy, particularly related to cancer care.
Hopefully we will see her and the Prince of Wales go on a couple of overseas tours next year now that their children are older.
In 2025 the Princess of Wales carried out 67 engagements, about 5 times more engagements than last year!!!
Princess Alexandra of Kent
Princess Alexandra is more than likely unofficially retired from her royal duties now due to her age, health and ailing mobility.
We saw Her Royal Highness four times this year at official events, including at her sister in laws (Katherine) funeral, a reception held did her brothers 90th birthday and a service of thanksgiving.
I hope she is doing well and is taking things slowly. She began her royal duties in the 1950s, so at least 70 years of representing the monarchy. She has truly deserved her retirement and we will miss seeing her at engagements. I hope we will see her occasionally, health permitting of course.
In conclusion
This year the British Royal Family completed a grand total of 2474 engagements in the UK and 25 different countries across the world (almost 500 more than last year!!!)
See below for engagements from the past decade and the types of engagements carried out in 2025
(Thank you all for your kindness through me doing this for the past three years. You’re all the best! Work and life is too much right now and I just feel so burnt out right now. Doing this every single day isn’t helping and I need my beauty sleep 🤣. A lot of work goes into doing this and it’s not benefiting me or anyone else so it’s easier to stop. I might even get back to doing regular posts because I have had no motivation to post on here for a while! HAPPY NEW YEAR ONE AND ALL!!!)
Happy 33rd wedding anniversary to the Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence
Lovely interaction between the Princess Royal and a lady waiting for the Royal Family on their walk back from St Mary Magdalene Church 💐🥰
Love the “You’re first for me“ from the Lady 🤗 Thank you for giving Anne a little love when most were just there for the Wales family.
And Anne’s “I was going to say, your garden is doing better than mine“ when given the flowers and complimenting their colour. ❤️🥰 (Love the tiny implication that if they were from that lady’s garden, Anne was going to have a word with her gardening husband and that they (he) have to step up their game🤭😅)
