I think probably less people under 40-45 know them and they work hard and are straight forward (what I would say is needed by the Crown) but there is a paradox here. They do well at Royal representation because they don't 'push' themselves forward and have the air of *expecting* people to know who they are in terms their ancestry and connections (even though they have them in many ways) and there are some people who do act along those lines or have for a few decades. This more modest approach actually works much better in the context of a modern working Royal Family both at home with the public and abroad for diplomacy.The Duke & Duchess of Gloucester are possibly the least well known of the working royals, but I don't think they are unknown, especially by those attending a Garden Party at Buckingham Palace.
Yougov has the Duke's "fame" (the percentage of people have who heard of a person) as 43% - so while it doesn't compare to the 100% of people who have heard of William of 98% who have heard of Charles it shows he isn't unknown.
The most famous royalty in the UK | Politics | YouGov Ratings
The most famous royalty in the UK according to YouGov Ratings. Fame is based on millions of responses from the British public and YouGov's innovative survey methodology.yougov.co.uk
For comparison in the fame ranking of public figures he sits at 149th position out of 406.
He sits above Lisa Nandy (UK Cabinet minister, Secretary of State for Culture, Media, and Sport) at 42%, Narendra Modi Prime Minister of India at 42% fame, Aung San Suu Kyi at 41% fame, Bridget Phillipson (UK Cabinet Minister, Secretary of State for Education) at 36% fame. But below the likes of William Prince of Wales, King Charles, Elon Musk, Boris Johnson, Bill Gates, Theresa May (former UK Prime Minister) who all rank above 95% fame.

I doubt it. I just think the BRF is trying to draw a very firm line in the sand between the working royals and the rest of the family. One way to do so is to only feature their Majesties, the Wales, Edinburghs, the Princess Royal & Tim, the Gloucesters, and the Duke of Kent (and, when she's able to attend, Princess Alexandra) on their social media channels.
The CC lists the Edinburgh's and the Gloucester's (unlike the late Queen who would have included Eugenie and Zara Charles doesn't acknowledge any assistance he is being given except by the aging royals - remember that there are only two working royals under 60 and it is probably close to another 20 years before the next generation will be on board full-time and even then George will be younger than William was when he started to be a full-time working royal.)Kate's sweet gesture to grieving parents of late teen photographer
The Prince and Princess of Wales hosted dozens of guests at Buckingham Palace this afternoon in recognition of their public service - including a few VIPs.www.dailymail.co.uk
Today's garden party - Wales', Edinburgh's, Zara Tindall in attendance. Also apparently Princess Eugenie and Gloucester's
When the Michael's of Kent attended things they were mentioned in the CC along with everyone else. Under Charles it dosent mention the names of anyone who isn't officially a working royal
This was the Chapel built for the future wife of Charles I, used eventually by Queen Henrietta-Maria. I hope her name was included somewhere too as the Queen connected to it
