Queen and other senior members of her family may be continuing to enjoy their Christmas and New Year holiday at
Sandringham, but it is their public service which is at last making headline
news.Following a long tradition which first began in 1979, the table of engagements undertaken by the royal family has been revealed following analysis of the daily Court Circular by former insurance broker Tim O'Donovan. So just who has hooked the title of 'hardest working royal'? Suffice to say, you won't be surprised by the answer. 
According to the annual table compiled by Mr O’Donovan, the Princess Royal continues to undertake the most engagements, carrying out 613 in the last twelve months. But whilst Anne’s workload is unsurprisingly impressive, tabloid critics of 'Air Miles Andy' may be surprised to discover that the Duke of York is officially the second hardest working member of the House of Windsor. 
In 2007 alone, the Duke of York carried out 556 engagements. This is an increase of 25% on the previous year. |
