Weekly update to 9th January, 2014 and first for 2014
This is the first entry for 2014 and will stick to the same format as last year with a new addition of a breakdown in the type of engagements e.g. xxxx number of 'visits'. Each month I hope to break that down by royal (although that won't necessarily be exactly at the end of the month as sometimes that coincides with a very busy time at my school).
I debated internally with myself about continuing to count the engagements of those undertaken by members of the family not listed individually on the CC page but have decided to continue for my own interest and the interest here.
It should also be pointed out that despite the press coverage of Andrew's speech on education last week it has never shown up in the CC and nor did The Queen's activity after church last Sunday that was reported here. I use the CC as published on the British monarchy website as my primary source.

Order from most downwards - the 'league table' if you like. I refuse to calculate how people are moving up or down that list. I do move people around who have moved up or down but I am not putting in how many places they are moving - although usually it is only one place in either direction.

An explanation of 'received', 'received by' and 'reception'. A 'received' is where the royal concerned 'receives xxxxx' for some purpose whereas 'received by' is where the royal/s concerned are the ones being received - usually on an overseas tour where they are formally meeting the Head of State. Receptions are more informal affairs where they tend to stand and mingle after some presentation.
A note for the newer members here who may have questions about what I am doing: I am using the Court Circular published daily on the British monarchy website during the week to do a simple count of the engagements of the BRF. This is my personal count and is not anything official. Only engagements listed in the CC, and only royals attending who are listed are given credit e.g. last year there was a reception at which there were pictures of Andrew attending but he wasn't listed in the CC and so wasn't given credit for that engagement. It also will explain why Beatrice in particular appears to do so little when she gets press coverage for doing charity work but as The Queen decides who is doing official engagements and she doesn't give the credit to Beatrice, Beatrice doesn't get the credit from me either.
NOTE - Divine Service doesn't get counted as there is no listing of who actually attended - e.g. who did attend on Christmas Day? We have photos but no list - so it would be unfair to base it on photos.
Note to mods - can we rename this thread up to 2014???
