I've sent them to you except Saturday, the details are in the post above.
They are driving me nuts!

I didn't have anything for the 7th July but have the others.
Try the POW website.
If you are referring to Future Engagements - that has always been rubbish from my experience of reading it for the last 12+ years with many events not listed at all and some royals not ever appearing.
Charles and Camilla, even on their own website, often don't appear to be having any future engagements - even for the next day and they will end up doing 6 each somewhere.
Andrew also is rarely on the FE.
Even The Queen can sometimes not show up on the FE - e.g. the FE says The Queen has no engagements scheduled for August but we have been told she will be doing an event for the commemoration of the outbreak of WWI next Monday. Many of the royals are being listed as doing engagements that day but not The Queen, Philip, Camilla, William, Kate, Harry or Andrew.
In fact for the entire family there is nothing listed in August from the 8th to the 31st. Now traditionally August is the slowest month (with often fewer than 50 engagements for the entire family for the month - that is an average week throughout the rest of the year) but 3 weeks with no engagements for any royal is a bit extreme.
I wouldn't read anything into the lack of information as the FE simply is unreliable.
I did a count for a few months back in 2012 on the expected number of engagements per month and would be out by up to about 100 from what was listed at the beginning of the month and how many were actually done.
They do get recorded in the CC when they carry out an engagement that The Queen approves as being an official one - but that isn't necessarily the same as what the media covers. The media can report on royals doing charity stuff etc but the Queen doesn't regard that as an official engagements and so it isn't in the CC.
I agree they need someone with energy. However, the person also has to have an eye for detail.I think a team with fresh and hip ideas is need for the royal websites. There seem to be a lack of order in the press team. I hardly pay much attention to the websites because it don't seem to grab my attention and its not updated as it should be.
