British Royal Family Engagements 2020

[Iluvbertie]

Weekly Update to 9th January, 2020

Welcome to the new year and another series of posts analyzing the BRF and their official engagements.

Just a reminder. I only use the Court Circular so even though we may see royals out and about if what they were doing isn’t listed BY NAME in the CC then it isn’t counted here e.g. the Queen, William and Catherine’s attendance at church last Sunday (CC said ‘divine service was held … and no listing of who attended) and Harry and Meghan’s visit to Canada House was also not mentioned in the CC.

I will only start new sections as people start to do them as well as only include a royal once they have done an officially recognised duty in the CC.

Total Engagements with Individual Percentage of Total

HM The Queen – 1 (7.7%)
HRH The Duke of Cambridge – 3 (23.1%)
HRH The Duchess of Cambridge – 1 (7.7%)
HRH The Earl of Wessex – 4 (30.8%)
HRH The Countess of Wessex – 1 (7.7%)
HRH The Princess Royal – 2 (15.4%)
HRH The Duchess of Gloucester – 1 (7.7%)

Royal Palaces where Events Occurred to 9th January, 2020

One of the interesting things about ‘where engagements’ happen, I have noticed in reading the Future Engagements page are that there are some engagements planned for Bagshot Park such as dinners. I assume this is due to the refurbishment of Buckingham Palace.

St James’ Palace – 1
Kensington Palace – 4
Sandringham House – 1

Types of Engagements from 1st January to the 9th January, 2020

Just a reminder that this is the type of engagement that occurred in the past week but the total is the total for the year not just for the week.

Concert – 1

Presented The Queen Elizabeth’s Prize for Academic Excellence – 1

Organisations that were Supported via an Official Engagement from 1st January to the 9th January, 2020

*Honourable Company of Air Pilots – 1
The Queen Elizabeth Prize for Academic Excellence – 1

*William ‘received’ the Master of the Honourable Company on the 9th. Why this is worth mentioning, I think, is that Andrew would have been doing this in the past as he was Grand Master. This could be a sign that William is going to take it over or that William is simply taking on some of Andrew’s commitments rather than having the engagement cancelled. There may be many reasons of course. This is the first time I have seen an Andrew association being connected with someone else since he stood down last November.

Weekly Update to 16th January, 2020

Sorry for the delay but you may have heard that as well as massive bush fires Australia has been hit with storms resulting in flash floods. The volunteer force that works in that area is the SES (State Emergency Service). I belong to my local unit and I have spent the past four days working largely in the logistical area of putting together ‘teams’ ensuring that no RFS guys are also asked to double up and go straight into SES work. We really want them to get a rest knowing that the fire season isn’t over yet. It was a long weekend but we have now put together the required ‘new’ teams and I am able to return to a ‘normal life’ with only occasional needs to go into the office and work there.

As usual the second week of the year does see an increase in the number of royals back to work with most now having returned. The Kent’s haven’t but as the Duke is 84 and Princess Alexandra is 83 I think we can forgive them for taking a bit longer. I am not counting Meghan due to the recent announcement.

MISSING DAYS: Yes – 16 DAYS into the year and the online British Monarchy website is ‘missing days’ already.

January – 13th and 14th – engagements missed – 13

Royal Palaces where Events Occurred to 16th January, 2020

One of the interesting things about ‘where engagements’ happen, I have noticed in reading the Future Engagements page are that there are some engagements planned for Bagshot Park such as dinners. When these events did take place the CC didn’t record a place. They were simply under the heading of St James’ Palace, which is where Edward’s office is and so that is where I have located the lunch and dinner. I wonder why the FE specified Bagshot when the CC decided not to specify anywhere?

Buckingham Palace – 1
St James’ Palace – 5
Kensington Palace – 9
Sandringham House – 2
Birkhall – 3*

*Charles and Camilla had three engagements listed under Clarence House but they are also referred to as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay which they only use when in Scotland so I have taken an educated guess and given these events to Birkhall. Normally the CC indicates if the event is moved to Dumfries House.

[TLLK]

No apologies necessary in my opinion as you were certainly needed for this vital volunteer work. I'm hoping that the recent rain in parts of Australia is offering some relief though of course flooding is always a concern after a fire.

Weekly Update to 23rd January, 2020

The weeks are flying by … and the royals are almost all back to work. The Kent’s still haven’t done anything officially although both the Duke and Princess Alexandra have events in the FE for next week.

Both Charles and Sophie have been overseas, while Camilla is scheduled to go to Poland for her most high profile solo event since marrying Charles - the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

Weekly Update to 30th January, 2020

Another week has gone by. Interestingly Princess Alexandra still hasn’t appeared this year – despite the fact that she was expected to do one during this past week. She does have one scheduled for the 6th February and a few more in the coming weeks so I do hope she completes these activities otherwise questions will start being raised about her health I am sure.

Camilla carried out her first major solo overseas visit extremely well, I thought, when she went to Poland on Monday. The Cambridges and Edward also attended Holocaust Memorial events in the UK on Monday.

[O-H Anglophile]

What engagement did Princess Alexandra miss? I’m curious, since she did go to the Mozart concert with the Gloucesters on the 27th so she doesn’t seem ill.

 

[Iluvbertie]

That event wasn't in the CC or the FE. I read of one in the FE but didn't record it about a week or so back which she didn't attend.

Weekly Update to 6th February, 2020

The highlight this week would be Princess Alexandra undertaking her first official engagement for the year. That means that all the ‘working royals’ have now done something this week (I am not counting Meghan nor Andrew anymore in that definition as per the ‘stepping back’ announcements).

Edward spent a number of days in Africa – Nigeria and Cote D-Ivoire for Duke of Edinburgh. Interestingly, although Nigeria is a Commonwealth country the CC has referred to the British Ambassador to the Federal Republic of Nigeria rather than the High Commissioner. They did this with Pakistan last year as well. I am using the terminology used in the CC even when I believe the CC is actually incorrect.

*As Andrew no longer carries out official engagements I am putting anything here that he does that would possibly have counted in the past – such as the Chinese New Year event at the Chinese Embassy that both he and Beatrice attended.

NB – I only add events here if there is some mention of an event on this board. I don’t go looking for events.

 

[Iluvbertie]

Sorry for the delay this week but I am still waiting on a CC for the 20th February. The British Monarchy website has skipped the 19th (which I know had events) and the 20th (which I think had reported events) so until I get the CC for the 20th I can't do this week's update.

If anyone has the 20th February I would appreciate it.

Weekly Update to 20th February, 2020

Thanks to Hel who sent me the CC for the 20th February.

Quite a busy week for those who did things while those with school aged children – The Cambridge’s and Wessex’s spent the week being parents rather than being working royals. Of course, as I go from Friday to Thursday I have events for Sophie before the half-term break began for the children.

Weekly Update to 27th February, 2020

The end of the school half-term break saw most of the family back to work. Camilla had a week off (maybe recovering from ‘grandmother’s duties’ over half-term ????). Harry, we saw undertake an engagement for Travalyst which wasn’t in the CC (although the launch was last year).

Basically this was a ‘steady as she goes’ week in the lead up to the overseas visits to Ireland and Europe by the Cambridge’s and Wales’ in the next couple of weeks.

Weekly Update to 5th March, 2020

A very busy week with William and Catherine on an official visit to the Republic of Ireland while Sophie was in South Sudan.

5th March shows just how hard the ‘oldies’ work – The Queen did 9 engagements and the Duke of Kent did 5. They were the two busiest on the day.

None of Harry and Meghan’s events were listed in the CC and so weren’t official engagements at all – but rather private ones that the media attended. Why they weren’t listed could come down to a) The Queen didn’t think they should be recorded as such or b) their staff didn’t bother sending the list through to the Queen’s office for listing.

Once again I would like to thank Hel for getting me the information for the 2nd March that the British monarch site didn’t think was worth publishing.

MISSING DAYS:

These dates are missing from the British monarchy website but were published in The Times or other websites based on The Time’s entries.

Milestones achieved this week: The Duke of Cambridge (51), The Earl of Wessex (50) and The Countess of Wessex (51) all achieved their half-centuries this week.

Weekly Update to 12th March, 2020

Another busy week for the BRF, especially with so many of them on show on Monday at the Commonwealth Day Service.

Sophie had to cancel her engagements on Wednesday due to ill health.

It will be interesting, given the cancellations by The Queen and Charles and Camilla to see how many other engagements are also cancelled or the type of engagements that don’t appear so often in the types of engagements over the coming weeks.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see a drop in ‘visits’ and ‘openeds’ but not in ‘audiences’ or ‘receiveds’.

Harry and Meghan were recorded as attending the Commonwealth Day Service and Andrew as attending a Service of Thanksgiving with the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. The media made a ‘big deal’ of the fact that Andrew didn’t get to ‘represent The Queen’ and even reported that as a result it wouldn’t be recorded in the CC but … they made that assumption BEFORE the CC was published and guess what Andrew was in the CC and thus has undertaken an official engagement this year. Earlier in the year he had someone else represent him at a similar event.

MISSING DAYS:

These dates are missing from the British monarchy website but were published in The Times or other websites based on The Time’s entries.

January – 13th, 14th, 29th and 30th – engagements missed – 29
February – 19th and 20th – engagements missed – 34
March – 2nd and 12th – engagements missed – 14
Total Percentage of missed engagements – 12.4% (or close to 1 in every 8 engagements)

12th March may be put up early next week. In past years the Thursday used to be available to me in Sydney on the Saturday but this year they seem to have moved it to the following week.

Milestones achieved this week: The Queen (57) reached her half century while The Prince of Wales (115) reached his century.

Approaching a milestone: The Duchess of Cornwall (44) and The Duchess of Cambridge (41) are both approaching their half-centuries.

Just a note ‘approaching’ does mean they are within 10 of the milestone so someone on 89 engagements isn’t listed as ‘approaching’ this week but next week may have ‘achieved’.

Weekly Update to 19th March, 2020

As we are now all aware the older royals are in isolation so only five of the working royals can be ‘out and about’ but they largely haven’t been anyway. William and Catherine are in their 30s, Edward and Sophie in their 50s and Anne at 69. If the isolation of those over 70 continues into August then Anne also will have to be in isolation as per government instructions.

The Queen did her weekly ‘audience’ with the PM via phone – and that is how it is listed in the CC. Edward also did a ‘video conference’ for a meeting about The Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards although Sophie apparently did a face-to-face meeting.

As we are aware a number of highlights in the royal watching calendar have already been cancelled – Maundy Thursday service, the garden parties, the Chelsea Flower Show while the State Visit from Japan and Charles and Camilla’s autumn tour have been postponed there isn’t a lot of ‘royal watching’ to do. I wouldn’t be surprised to see more cancellations – the 75th anniversary of VE Day, Trooping, the Garter and Ascot to come.

Sad days indeed for all of us.

Weekly Update to 26th March, 2020

This was a very slow week with no engagements for four days, for obvious reasons, and then a series of phone or video link engagements for The Queen, Charles (after his diagnosis), William, Edward and Sophie.

This is the final week for at least 14 years that we will have an HRH possibly undertaking duties in their 20s as Eugenie joined the rest of the young royals in their 30s.

Weekly Update to 2nd April, 2020

Another slow week with only meetings etc via either phone links or video links.

The good news was about Charles recovering from COVID 19 although Camilla is still in isolation based on the UK protocols. Camilla’s ex-husband has been diagnosed with the virus now.

The FE on the British monarchy website has three engagements listed from now to the end of the year but at least one of those I don’t think will happen as it involves the Duke of Gloucester attending an event on the 23rd April. As he is over 70, he will still be in isolation at that time. Anne has an IOC meeting listed for14th May and the Queen has the Garden Party at Holyrood still in the diary for July. I doubt that either of those events will occur as scheduled although Anne’s could be done via a video conference. All others in the FE are ‘WILL NOT NOW ATTEND’ or have been removed.

I wonder if someone can help?

I have a new computer - the old one died but I didn't have the name of the source I use for the CC other than the British monarchy website saved or a link.

Someone on here gave me the link so I was wondering if someone could give it to me again. It has the record from 2010 and has missing days from the British monarchy site so I would really love to have it again.

Thanks in advance.

It was called something like 'The Royal Record' but when I search for that all I get is a twitter account.

It’s not this one is it: https://www.theroyalrecord.com

 

[Iluvbertie]

No - that one doesn't seem to have anything after 2015.

The one I was using had the CC from 2010 to at least the 3rd April, 2020 (and probably has updated since then).

 

[Iluvbertie]

Thank you to Princess Larissa who gave me the link.

The site is https://theroyalrecord.wordpress.com/ so I will always have it on here as well as saved in a word document at home (which is now on a separate disk).

Weekly Update to 9th April, 2020

Another slow week with only meetings etc via either phone links or video links.

The Queen didn’t have an audience with the PM due to the fact he was in ICU and he didn’t hand over all the duties of PM to Dominic Raab. Now he is out of ICU I wonder if he will have a phone audience next week or whether that will have to wait until he is fully recovered – in a month or so’s time.

The good news is that Camilla is also now out of self-isolation, just in time for the 15th wedding anniversary of the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall.

Weekly Update to 16th April, 2020

Another slow week with only meetings etc via either phone links or video links.

Sophie was seen out helping pack things for those in need but that didn’t make it to the CC. Andrew was also seen doing similar things but also not in the CC. Interestingly Sophie was praised while Andrew was condemned and yet both were doing the same thing … packing/delivering supplies for those in need.

William, followed Charles’ lead, and opened the second Nightingale Hospital via video link. I am sure both men can’t wait for the day they get to go and close both those hospitals in person … as that will mean the crisis is over and life is returning to a great degree of normalcy.

Of course we missed seeing the family gather for the Easter Service at St George’s this year – with the usual comments about the way different members interact and what they wear. We also didn’t get the chance for people to criticise Charles and Camilla for not attending, despite the fact that they always go to Scotland for Easter but some people just never seem to get that message.

Weekly Update to 23rd April, 2020

Another slow week with only meetings etc via either phone links or video links.

The highlights of this past week surely were The Queen and Louis’ birthdays with those lovely videos and photos that were released.

The Duke of Kent, who had cancelled a number of visits this week, carried out his first meeting via phone link, which is the standard means of engagements now.

I found it interesting that when both Charles and William opened the NHS Nightingale Hospitals it was included in the CC but when Camilla opened one it wasn’t, and nor was Charles’ opening of the hospital in Wales.

NOTE: When lock down is lifted in the UK and royals return to a more normal roster of duties I will include all the information that I normally do. That may not be this year, of course but hopefully by the end of the summer a more normal life will return to the UK. I am treating this a bit like the summer recess time when I don't put up screeds of information that hasn't changed e.g. the overseas visits.

Even though the CC may identify an engagement as Buckingham Palace or Clarence House we know that the royals concerned are following the government’s guidelines and so are isolating. As a result, I have listed their engagements based on their homes rather than their offices.

Just a reminder that this is the type of engagement that occurred in the past week, but the total is the total for the year not just for the week.
