In a time of uncertainty for the British royal family, Princess Anne has emerged as a beacon of dedication and hard work.
With King Charles and Princess Kate sidelined due to health issues, the Princess Royal has stepped up her game, taking on a significant portion of royal engagements this year.
Her commitment has not gone unnoticed, earning her accolades from royal supporters across social media platforms.
So far in 2024, Princess Anne has accepted a staggering one-third of all royal engagements, marking a notable increase in her workload compared to last year.
In fact, she has ramped up her efforts by 2 percent, showcasing her unwavering dedication to royal duties.
After embarking on trips to Namibia and Sri Lanka earlier this year, she and her husband, Vice-Admiral Sir Timothy Lawrence, are currently on a royal tour of Canada.
The response from the public has been overwhelmingly positive.
Fans have taken to social media to express their admiration for Anne’s tireless commitment.
One supporter remarked, “I didn’t think I could like or respect the Princess Royal any more than I already did.
How incredible a woman she is.” Another chimed in, emphasizing the importance of duty and sibling loyalty during these challenging times.
It’s clear that many appreciate her efforts, with one fan simply stating, “Thank God for the Princess Royal.”
At 73 years old, Princess Anne continues to defy expectations.
As of late April, she has completed 172 engagements this year alone and shows no signs of slowing down.
Remarkably, she stands out as one of only three active royals who have increased their output compared to the same timeframe last year.
This year, she has already surpassed her previous total by four engagements, proving her resilience and commitment.
With the monarchy experiencing a period of reduced staffing, Princess Anne has been busy, often working nearly double the days of her royal counterparts.
The situation has been compounded by the health challenges faced by other family members.
The Duke of Gloucester, aged 78, and the Duke of Kent, who is 88, have also taken on additional responsibilities, though their workloads remain significantly lower than Anne’s.
According to Patricia Treble, a Canadian journalist who meticulously tracks royal engagements, Princess Anne has accounted for an impressive 31.4% of all engagements carried out by working royals in the first quarter of 2024.
In contrast, Sophie has managed 11.31%, while Edward has completed 15.3%.
This stark difference highlights Anne’s extraordinary contribution during a time when the royal family is navigating various challenges.
Sophie and Prince Edward have been doing their best to uphold royal responsibilities, especially with Prince William recently taking time off to support his family following Kate’s health diagnosis.
