The Windsors have completed less than 60% of the engagements that they managed to complete in 2019. The decline was mainly due to the coronavirus pandemic, the rising number of elderly royals, and losing some of the firm’s senior members.
The Royal family completed a total of 2.065 duties in 2021. It marks a 35% increase in 2020 but was only 59.5% of the duties completed in 2019. Canadian researcher Patricia Treble also noted that Prince William was the only royal who fulfilled more duties this year compared to the 2019 tally. He managed to do 227 in total in 2021.

Prince Charles and Princess Anne’s Engagements
