British Royal Family Engagements 2019

[Iluvbertie]

Weekly Update to 21st February, 2019

Sorry for the delay. In addition to forgetting to take my disk with me I returned home to major internet issues (Aussies may understand when I say ‘I hate the NBN’. I had a better, faster and more reliable service before being forced onto the NBN … and the classic comment from Optus … ‘you need to ring us on the landline as it is connected to the modem’. The problem with that comment – the modem isn’t working properly so the landline also isn’t working so I can’t ring them on the landline. That one had me laughing. Hopefully they will be able to get a technician out to check things for me during the upcoming April school holidays. Until then I am reliant on one of those mobile internet things … which speed wise is pretty well as good as the NBN but allows me less access over the month – only 4GB per month – but I will see how things go.

Many people may notice that the Cambridges and Wessexes didn't have any engagements this week - probably due to spending the week with their children over the half-term break ... and rightly so.

Milestones achieved this week: The Prince of Wales reached his half century.

Approaching a milestone: NONE in the 40s or 90s this week

Announced Engagements for the week 22nd – 28th February, 2019

For these engagements I am using the Future Engagements on the British Monarchy Website, The Prince of Wales website, The Duke of York’s Website and Gert’s Royals – Cambridge and Sussex pages although I am only including ‘confirmed engagements’ from there.

If a royal doesn’t appear in this list they have no engagements listed for the upcoming week in any of these sites as at today (17th February, Sydney time). Engagements may occur that aren’t announced, especially by The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the Duke of York.

The engagements that were announced on the FE and have been removed I am keeping because last year that had The Duchess of Gloucester doing a trip to Spain for the tennis for about four weeks, then about two weeks out they removed it and then, guess what – that trip went ahead exactly as originally announced.

HM The Queen – 1
HRH The Prince of Wales – 3
HRH The Duke of Sussex – 10
HRH The Duchess of Sussex – 9
HRH The Earl of Wessex – 5

Weekly Update to 28th February, 2019

This week saw Harry and Meghan make their trip to Morocco and William and Catherine visit Northern Ireland. As usual there was no advance warning of this visit. This is normal procedure. Anne’s earlier visit to the Northern Ireland was also not announced in advance. The only royals whose visit to Northern Ireland can be predicted is Charles and Camilla’s as they normally add three or four days to their visit to the Republic. They have been making an annual visit for a number of years now.

The Duke of Kent has also visited Cyprus to visit the Scots Guards there. He did serve there himself with the Scots Guards when he did serve in the army. This is a visit he makes a couple of times a year even in his 80s.

The reason for the difference in number of engagements for Harry and Meghan is that the CC only had Harry attending the Investiture. When William did an investiture overseas, in the past, Catherine was recorded as with him. That is not the normal procedure of course.

Milestones achieved this week: NONE

Approaching a milestone: NONE in the 40s or 90s this week

This year the only royals for whom subsidiary titles have been used have been the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall when in Scotland.

Weekly Update to 7th March, 2019

Sorry for the delay but I have been in bed with the flu. Easy enough to read and post occasionally but I need my wits about me when doing the analysis. Hopefully will be back to weekly from this week.

This week we saw the Wales branch commemorate the 50 years since Charles’ investiture as Prince of Wales (along with The Queen and The Princess Royal) but no younger brothers for some reason. His cousins were there but not his younger siblings who are of an age with David and Sarah.

The Duke of Kent continued his visit to Cyprus.

William attended his second Duchy of Cornwall meeting this year. The last three or four such meetings have had William attending and not Charles. Charles has attended the last couple of Duchy of Lancaster meetings. This is the clearest evidence of the ‘changing of the guard’ as Charles seems to be taking over the running of the Duchy of Lancaster from his mother while William is taking over the Duchy of Cornwall from his father. Maybe I am reading more into this development than is really the case but it has to happen at some point. Charles and William did attend some Duchy of Cornwall meetings together a couple of years ago but now it seems it is William looking after Cornwall.

Milestones achieved this week: NONE

Approaching a milestone: Camilla, William and Harry are now all in the 40s but there is NO ONE in the 90s this week.

This year the only royals for whom subsidiary titles have been used have been the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall when in Scotland.

Announced Engagements for the week 8th – 14th March, 2019

For these engagements I am using the Future Engagements on the British Monarchy Website, The Prince of Wales website, The Duke of York’s Website and Gert’s Royals – Cambridge and Sussex pages although I am only including ‘confirmed engagements’ from there.

If a royal doesn’t appear in this list they have no engagements listed for the upcoming week in any of these sites as at today (2nd March, Sydney time). Engagements may occur that aren’t announced, especially by The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the Duke of York.

The engagements that were announced on the FE and have been removed I am keeping because last year that had The Duchess of Gloucester doing a trip to Spain for the tennis for about four weeks, then about two weeks out they removed it and then, guess what – that trip went ahead exactly as originally announced.

HM The Queen – 1

That’s a nice article, Ladongas, thanks for posting it!

It’s nice that Mr. O’Donovan has devoted so many years and time on calculating the royal family’s official engagements. Although, I think he has helped cause a great deal of irritation within the royal family and their officials.

It can’t be easy for them to have their official engagements and others duties to The Queen, United Kingdom and Commonwealth all boiled down to just a list of numbers at the end of the year. Those numbers just don’t do justice to what it takes to do their job within the “Firm.”

Whatever flu hit you, hit me last month and I can attest to the fact that my wits weren't about me at all. In fact, if I could have said I felt like death warmed over, it would have been an upgrade. Glad you're back with us among the living and feeling better.

Weekly Update to 21st March, 2019

If it wasn’t for Charles and Camilla’s overseas trip this would have been a quiet week. The sad thing is that they are doing so much and getting virtually no coverage. One article a day covering the around 15 engagements per day they are undertaking with receptions, visits and meetings with Prime Ministers and Governors-General.

Andrew’s engagement with Eugenie means she will enter the lists this week but although we all saw Jack with her, he wasn’t mentioned in the CC.

Meanwhile Tim has been to New Zealand with his role with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and while there laid a wreath and signed the Book of Condolence in Wellington. Anne, Harry and Meghan signed the book at New Zealand House but none of these signings were official visits. If they had been official visits they would have been listed in the CC but they weren't.

Milestones achieved this week: Both Charles and Anne made their centuries while The Queen, Camilla, Harry and Edward all made their half centuries.

Approaching a milestone: Andrew and Sophie are now both in the 40s.

Total Engagements with Individual Percentage of Total

HM The Queen – 53 (49 – up 4 – 7.0%)
HRH The Prince of Wales – 119 (91 – up 28 – 15.7%)
HRH The Duchess of Cornwall – 65 (45 – up 20 – 8.6%)

*This is the way the CC referred to Princess Eugenie. No mention of Mrs Jack Brooksbank and that is therefore the way I am referring to her here.

Overseas Engagements to 21st March, 2019

Announced Engagements for the week 22nd – 28th March, 2019

For these engagements I am using the Future Engagements on the British Monarchy Website, The Prince of Wales website, The Duke of York’s Website KPs Twitter Page and Gert’s Royals – Cambridge and Sussex pages although I am only including ‘confirmed engagements’ from there.

If a royal doesn’t appear in this list they have no engagements listed for the upcoming week in any of these sites as at today (24th March, Sydney time). Engagements may occur that aren’t announced, especially by The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the Duke of York.

The engagements that were announced on the FE and have been removed I am keeping because last year that had The Duchess of Gloucester doing a trip to Spain for the tennis for about four weeks, then about two weeks out they removed it and then, guess what – that trip went ahead exactly as originally announced.

As usual The Duke of York has no announced engagements. He has announced none in advance so far this year at all.

HM The Queen – 3
HRH The Prince of Wales – 7 (the next 7 days of the Caribbean tour. I have found no details of any day of this tour so only days not engagements included.
HRH The Duchess of Cornwall – 5 (the next 7 days of the Caribbean tour. I have found no details of any day of this tour so only days not engagements included.
HRH The Duchess of Cambridge – 1
HRH The Earl of Wessex – 7 (Including a visit to the UAE)
HRH The Countess of Wessex – 7
HRH The Princess Royal – 9

For the End of April 2019 (29th March – 30th April)

HRH The Prince of Wales – 7 (This includes the final day of the Caribbean tour as no details are available that I have been able to find)
HRH The Duchess of Cornwall – 1 (This includes the final of day of the Caribbean tour as no details are available that I have been able to find)
HRH The Duke of Cambridge – 1
HRH The Duke of Sussex – 1
HRH The Earl of Wessex – 6

HRH The Princess Royal – 43
HRH The Duke of Gloucester – 13
HRH The Duchess of Gloucester – 3
HRH The Duke of Kent – 5

For the rest of 2019

This list is only those who have announced engagements past the end of April and the count is from 1st May to 31st December

Most of these are in May although there is one for Princess Alexandra for June and the Garden Party for the Queen in July.

HM The Queen – 4
HRH The Earl of Wessex – 6 (This includes single day visits to Slovenia and Macedonia)

Sorry for the delay in the update but with retirement coming on Friday and the end of term activities I am simply too busy to do the analysis. It will be up probably a week late but you will get two weeks in one weekend and then there should be no delays - assuming the CC co-operates.

[TLLK]

Thank you for the update and congratulations on your upcoming retirement.

*For some reason I had an error in last week’s excel document and gave 7 engagements to Camilla on one day and 5 to William when it should have been 7 to Charles and 5 to Camilla – simply put the figure in the wrong column and didn’t pick up the error until trying to figure out why the excel document had William with 5 extra engagements. When I went back to check I realised what had happened. These figures are now accurate.

This year the only royals for whom subsidiary titles have been used have been the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall when in Scotland.

Weekly Update to 11th April, 2019

Easter is approaching so Charles and, presumably Camilla, are in Scotland. Charles has had a number of engagements there at Dumfries House although Camilla only did the one engagement this week – in Northern Ireland with Charles – and her attendance at the Olivier Awards so none in Scotland to prove she is there. The Queen is also doing her engagements from Windsor Castle for her ‘Easter Court’.

Anne has visited the Republic of Ireland while Andrew is in China.

It was announced this week, in the Court Circular, that William had been completing a stint of ‘concentrated attendance since 18th March with the Secret Intelligence Service and Security Service in London’. As a result, his count has gone up as I counted each day as one engagement meaning 15 days. I assumed ‘normal working hours’ of 9.00 – 5.00 five days a week.

The total for the year has now topped the 1000 mark.

A note about the terminology of some engagements. It is not unusual for Edward to be noted as having attended ‘receptions’ for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award so I am now counting that as two engagements as it is plural. The same thing in this past week when the Duke of Kent went to ‘ceremonies’ for the University of Surrey graduation. I remember my graduation day when my ceremony would be at one particular time while a friend, in another faculty would have their ceremony at a different time or even on a different day so multiple ceremonies on the one day are possible.

Milestones achieved this week: Nil

Approaching a milestone: Camilla is still in the 90s while Richard and Edward Kent are both still in the 40s
