The difference between my figures and the figures in this study are that they include events where someone represented the Queen as a day on which she undertook an engagement. My analysis shows
127 days she is listed in the CC as actually doing something in person
32 days on which a courtier and not a royal is listed as doing something on her behalf such as attending a church service or meeting/farewelling an Ambassador or High Commissioner
12 days are where she is listed as 'arriving' somewhere and that is all or Divine Service was held with no mention of who actually attended
7 days on which another member of the royal family did something on her behalf such as Edward and Sophie attending Madelaine's wedding - that is listed in the CC under The Queen and not under Edward and Sophie personally
3 occasions when The Duke represented her
Total - 181 whereas I only counted the days when she did things personally equally 127.
I haven't done Charles' but that would be interesting to do that count as there are times when he is listed under The Queen doing things such as 'represented The Queen' at Mandela's funeral and also undertook Investitures on her behalf. If that is the only thing listed for the day then the Danish study appears to count that event for The Queen so if I get time I may try to see if they also count if for Charles.
It should also be remember that not all royal houses give our the same information and so while the BRF lists things like meetings with charities while the Scandinavians don't give out that information all the time.
A note as well - counting days on which royals worked Anne leads the field but Charles in number of engagements.
