Weekly update to 5th July.
This week we have all seen William and Kate at Wimbledon but it wasn't in the CC so no credit but the Duke of Kent gets the credit a number of times because of the number of days he attended and it was in the CC.
The Thistle ceremony had two components - the service and then a luncheon at which the knights entertained The Queen and Philip - so William gets a credit as a Knight but Kate doesn't as the CC didn't indicate that the spouses of the Knights were there.

Order from most downwards - the 'league table' if you like. I refuse to calculate how people are moving up or down that list. I do move people around who have moved up or down but I am not putting in how many places they are moving - although usually it is only one place in either direction.

Year to date total - 2899 with 77% of those engagements being carried out by The Queen, her children and their spouses. The remaining 23% have been done by her grandchildren, first cousins and their spouses. This sees a change from last week with the Queen, her children and their spouses reducing their percentage of engagements again in comparison to the grandchildren, cousins and their spouses. This is the same as last week.
The main line (The Queen, Duke of Edinburgh, Prince of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall, Duke of Cambridge, Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Harry) has remained at 44%.
Just a query - if I continue this next year - would people like to see how often a spouse is credited with a 'duty' when simply accompanying the royal e.g. Philip accompanies The Queen and they both get a credit at the moment - and that would continue of course - but often the spouse accompanies e.g. Kate going to The Thistle to look pretty counts as a duty. What I am suggesting is three sets of figures - the top one I do know, the league table and one just for individual duties done by the spouses.
