Weekly update to 13th August, 2015
Andrew carried out two engagements in Singapore and the Queen officially arrived at Balmoral. There were the only engagements for the family this week.
I only have entries on the website for the 9th, 10th and 11th. There were engagements where someone represented the Queen but those things aren’t engagements for any of the royals so I don’t count them e.g.By command of The Queen, Ms. Catherine Nettleton (Vice-Marshal of the Diplomatic Corps) called upon His Excellency Dr. Dalhatu Tafida at Nigeria House, 9 Northumberland Avenue, London WC2, today in order to bid farewell to His Excellency upon relinquishing his appointment as High Commissioner for the Federal Republic of Nigeria in London.
My informal count for Beatrice of which I am aware is at 26 thanks to Duchesschicana who gave me information about more engagements for her. That means she has three official engagements and 23 that had they been done by other royals would have been counted as an engagement.
HM The Queen – 275 (274 – up 1 – 11.3%)
HRH The Duke of Edinburgh - 171 (171– no change – 7.0%)
HRH The Prince of Wales – 367 (367 – no change – 15.0%)

HRH The Duchess of Cambridge – 25 (25 – no change – 1.0%)
HRH Prince Henry of Wales - 57 (57 – no change – 2.3%)

HRH Princess Beatrice of York – 3 (3 – no change – 0.1%)
HRH Princess Eugenie of York – 2 (2 – no change – 0.08%)
HRH The Earl of Wessex - 192 (192 – no change – 7.9%)
HRH The Countess of Wessex - 117 (117 – no change – 4.8%)
HRH The Princess Royal - 340 (340 – no change – 13.9%)
Vice-Admiral Tim Laurence - 38 (38 – no change – 1.6%)
HRH The Duke of Gloucester - 157 ( 157 – no change – 6.4%)
HRH The Duchess of Gloucester - 72 (72 – no change – 2.9%)
HRH The Duke of Kent – 118 (118 – no change – 4.8%)
HRH The Duchess of Kent - 0 (0 – no change – 0%)
HRH Prince Michael of Kent – 9 (9 – no change – 0.4%)
HRH Princess Michael of Kent - 6 (6 – no change – 0.25%)
HRH Princess Alexandra – 61 (61 – no change – 2.5%)
The 'league table'
There has been some discussion on various threads at times about reducing the size of the royal family. IF the idea is for the royal family to be Charles and his family and maybe his siblings these are those who would be doing duties. Charles and his line are in purple and his siblings and spouses are in green. The Queen and Philip are in red.

76.1% of those engagements being carried out by The Queen, her children and their spouses – same.
46.8% done by the main line (The Queen, Duke of Edinburgh, Prince of Wales, Duchess of Cornwall, Duke of Cambridge, Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Harry) – same.
18.2% of all engagements are being done by those over 85 – same.
32.7% done by those 70 and above – same.
72.0% are being done by those over 60 – same.
41.8% were done by those in their 60s – down.
57.8% were done by those over retirement age – same.
NOTE: I am aware that Anne is now over retirement age and I will attempt to figure out how to adjust my figures so that that last % is accurate to include Anne from now on.
