Overview
- Patricia Treble’s Court Circular tally credits the King with more than 530 engagements in 2025, ahead of Princess Anne’s 478 despite her leading number of working days.
- The total of 2,458 engagements marks a roughly 22% rise on 2024, with year-on-year increases for Charles (+49%), William (+45%) and Queen Camilla (+33%).
- The King announced on Dec. 12 that his cancer treatment will be reduced in the new year, after maintaining a full program that included visits to Italy, Canada, Poland and Vatican City.
- Prince Edward ranked third with 313 engagements, followed by Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh (235), Queen Camilla (228), the Duke of Gloucester (212) and Prince William (202).
- The Princess of Wales resumed duties during remission with about 68 engagements, and commentators say the King’s intensified visibility is a deliberate effort to steady the monarchy for the future.
