@Queen Claude - I think the purpose of the article is to argue is it worth it to have a monarchy in Sweden. But what concerns me are the numbers being put up. How many are joint appearances (with spouse, another member of the family or the whole family) and how many are single appearances? Sofia has only been royal for about six months; anything prior to her marriage to Carl Philip in 2015 shouldn't count. Project Playground has been co-opted by the SRF more or less, but since PP was not founded by the SRF it shouldn't count. Chris should not be in count at all because he is not an HRH.
Whoever wrote this article better be able to stand by the numbers and stand up to challenges because the article is open to a fact check.
The article doesn't tell where the reporter has counted the work events from. For instance, at the swedish royal calendar aren't listed the visits Victoria and Daniel do with the Crown Princess Couple's Foundation - but some of those events are listed at the "Aktuella händelser" and an article is made of them, so they are official work events.
It seems to me that the numbers Aftonbladet has got are taken from the royal calendar, while looking at Daniel's calendar, the number 124 has been got by counting the work events from the calendar, and for instance the three events on the National Day and at the Opening of the Parliament are listed as one event per day on the result. The way to count is a little unfair, because in 2015 Daniel had 9 visits with Prince Daniel Fellowship, he visits two different schools in a day and meets two different audiences, and still those are counted as one event per day.
And for instance, on 29th January Victoria and Daniel met John Mullins, there is an article about it at the court website:
Kronprinsessparet i möte med John Mullins - Sveriges Kungahus
But it isn't or hasn't been at the calendar.
The king, queen, Victoria and Daniel have events which aren't at the calendar, so if Aftonbladet counts only the calendar, the numbers aren't right. As Carl Philip, Sofia and Madeleine work so little, they don't have the same problem.
And besides, the article says that the king has 249 work events - and still five to come before the New Year: that means that the events are counted until 19th December, and the work events starting from 20th December weren't counted at the result.
It means that to the numbers of the article should be added work events:
The king 5
The queen 2
Victoria 3
Daniel 5
Carl Philip 3
Sofia 3
Madeleine 1
To get the numbers right, the court should update their calendar and put all events which are seen as official work events to the calendar afterwards - if there has been done an article to the website, the event should also be at the calendar.
And the court should put all the events which Victoria and Daniel do with The Crown Princess Couple's Foundation to the calendar (not just board meetings and seminars). And the court should decide how they list Project Playground events. Now the board meetings and charity dinners are listed as official events, but Sofia's other work isn't, for instance her visit to partners or organizations PP works with aren't at the calendar.
this made me lol
