Alexandra’s post on her Insta story is adorable 🥺 and like you said, it’s funny how that Joni Mitchell shirt seems to be the only thing that Keith owns 😭

The photo Alexandra shared of Keith making dinner for them is so sweet! I love how much he loves playing house husband, it’s very in keeping with his personality.

And Patti must be ready to burn that damn shirt at this point, honestly.

Same with Keith and Patti's children....I mean Patti was and is super beautiful, Keith was handsome in his youth (even when he quite looked like a drugged rat)... and the daughters...

Y’all think Keith’s daughters are ugly? Chile…🤦🏾‍♀️🥴

Aimee’s 2024 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.

This year has been in no way easy in 2024, with health problems with HM The King and HRH The Princess of Wales, to the concussion accident with HRH The Princess Royal. Everyone banded together and the show went on! I cannot wait to see Catherine return to her duties next year 💗

👑 Princess Anne 👑

This year started off like any other year for the Princess Royal. She was the first royal to get back to work, on the 4th January. She and her husband, Sir Tim, were also the first royals to go on a royal tour in 2024, to Sri Lanka. Once she got back, the BRF as we knew it took a slight turn, the sad health announcements of the King and the Princess of Wales. HRH took it on the chin and did amazingly well, carrying on her royal duties being the true backbone of the British Monarchy.

Another blow to the royal family came in the last week of June. Buckingham Palace announced that Princess Anne suffered concussion after a blow to the head by a horse during a walk around the grounds of her home, Gatcombe Park. She was hospitalised for a week. She returned to work two weeks after her release from hospital, her first engagement back was equestrian related (very on brand imo). Shortly afterwards she left the UK and headed to Paris for the 2024 games, she spent 10 days in Paris attending IOC meetings and watching various games. The rest of the year went smoothly for the Princess Royal. She returned better and stronger than ever and has basically fulfilled her yearly quota of engagement 💪

Once again Princess Anne tops the chart as the hardest working royal, completing 437 engagements.

She has done 362 engagements in the UK.

She travelled to 10 different countries this year and did 75 engagements there. 🇱🇰🇳🇦🇦🇪🇨🇦🇳🇴🇫🇷🇫🇷🇳🇱🇫🇷🇮🇲

Dubbed by some as the unofficial Queen of Scots she did 56 in Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Out of a total of 40 investiture ceremonies held, Princess Anne held 27 🎖️

King Charles III

This has been a tough year for King Charles, but he has still managed to pull off a staggering number of engagements! In the second year of his reign King Charles did a grand total of 345

In the UK he did 294 engagements.

He travelled to different countries where he completed … engagements and did 5 full royal tours in Australia and Samoa. He also hosted a state visits for Japan and Qatar at Buckingham Palace. 🇫🇷🇯🇪🇬🇬🇦🇺🇼🇸

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 40 investiture ceremonies held, King Charles held 5🎖️

Prince Edward, The Duke of Edinburgh

This year the Duke of Edinburgh turned 60 years old and he was bestowed the highest order in Scotland, the Order of the Thistle! He 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.

He completed 280 engagements this year and visited 9 countries on solo tours and with his wife. 🇿🇦🌋🏝️🇺🇬🇫🇷🇲🇨🇲🇹🇧🇭🇰🇼

Sophie, The Duchess of Edinburgh

In 2024 Sophie carried on her hard work in areas like women’s rights in disadvantaged areas, avoidable blindness, hygiene and agriculture. She did marvellous confidential visits to Ukraine and Chad, focusing her attention on women’s rights and the children’s safety of these war torn 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 232 engagements this year in the UK and the commonwealth and visited 10 countries on solo tours and with her husband. 🇫🇷🇺🇦🇮🇹🇩🇪🇯🇪🇫🇷🇹🇿🇲🇹🇹🇩

Prince Richard, The Duke of Gloucester

The Duke of Gloucester has this year completed 197 engagements in the UK.

He continued his long lasting work in heritage, architecture, the St John’s Ambulance and military organisations.

Hopefully next year we will see him do some overseas engagements. 🕯️

Queen Camilla

In the second year of her husbands reign, Queen Camilla carried out 171 engagements.

She visited 6 countries this year including accompanying her husband on official tours of Australia and Samoa where she did 40 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 William, The Prince of Wales

This year the Prince of Wales’ engagements slightly reduced due to his wife illnesses, understandably. He continued to carry out his important duties in areas like homelessness, mental health and conservation with Earthshot. In 2024 Prince William carried out 137 engagements in the UK and the Commonwealth.

Prince William travelled to 3 countries (France x2, Germany x3) where he did 21 engagements 🇫🇷🇿🇦🇩🇪

Out of a total of 40 investiture ceremonies held, Prince William held 8🎖️

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.

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 2024 he became the Chair of the Science Museum, the new patron of the Oban War and Peace Museum and will become the new President of Kent Cricket Club in January 2025.

He accompanied his wife to a total of 95 engagements, represented her 3 times and remembrance services and accompanied her to 48 engagements abroad in 4 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

(Operation working royal Tim) 👏

Prince Edward, The Duke of Kent.

Despite being 89, Prince Edward, the late Queens cousin, has carried out 89 engagements even with his ailing mobility.

He continued his valued hard work with organisations like the RNLI, the Royal Scots Guards and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, which he recently passed on the presidency to the Princess Royal.

Catherine, The Princess of Wales

This year has not been easy for the Princess of Wales with her diagnosis, she significantly reduced her schedule and only attended the most important engagements like Trooping the Colour, Remembrance Day, visiting Southport and taking part in the Qatari State Visit. I really do hope that 2025 treats Catherine kindly and we can see her more often, doing what she does best 🥰

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 2024 the Princess of Wales carried out 13 engagements.

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 have only seen Her Royal Highness twice (once officially) this year, firstly accompanying her daughter Marina, at King Constantine’s service of thanksgiving at Windsor Castle, and secondly attending the Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace.

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 2099 in the UK and 25 different countries across the world.

Christening of PRINCE RICHARD OF GLOUCESTER, October 20, 1944 // RCT

‘The Duchess of Gloucester had another son a few days ago [August 26] - a Caesarian operation - and there is much discussion as to what name the child shall be given. The King favours Charles, which I think would be a good idea, but the Gloucesters apparently fancy Richard.’
