Princess Anne is known for having one of the busiest schedules of any royal family member, successfully building strong and lasting relationships with many charities across the Commonwealth. In 2024, Princess Anne topped the list with 433 official engagements, despite an injury from a horse-riding accident that forced her to cancel a long-awaited trip to Canada. In 2025, she was overtaken by her brother, King Charles, who completed 535 official engagements at the age of 77. This increase in activity is seen as a sign of his improving health, supported by his earlier announcement about the progress in cancer treatment. Prince Edward, their younger brother, came in third with 313 engagements, followed by his wife, Sophie, Duchess of Essex, with 235. Queen Camilla, the oldest member of the family, ranked fifth with 228 engagements. Prince William, the heir to the throne, typically undertakes fewer engagements and ranked seventh in 2025 with 202. His wife, Catherine, Princess of Wales, who announced in January 2025 that she was in remission after a cancer diagnosis in 2024, ranked tenth with 69 engagements, stating she is taking a 'measured approach' to find the right balance as she returns to work.
