Princess Anne is the British royal family’s ultimate workhorse, proving once again why she is considered the hardest-working royal by many followers. At 74, Anne clocked 217 engagements in 2024, despite a summer concussion caused by a horse-related accident. Even hospitalizations couldn’t stop her hot streak, as she stepped in for King Charles during his cancer treatments, balancing royal duties, her own health conditions, and being resilient like a pro!
King Charles, despite his health challenges, came in second with 186 engagements, followed by a royal surprise: Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester, taking third place with 126 appearances. Meanwhile, Prince William and Kate Middleton took a step back, with the Princess of Wales prioritizing her health after a cancer diagnosis, leading to an 88% drop in her engagements compared to 2023.
Princess Anne’s commitment shines despite a whirlwind year for the royals, where personal health crises were the biggest hit the monarchy has taken in the past four years. Yet, the Princess Royal remains determined, proving that she is literally the backbone of the British monarchy. This isn’t just a cute title—it’s personal grit. Call her the queen of persistence, because Anne is truly unstoppable.
