Figures reveal that the busiest royal of the year was Princess Anne. The second child and only daughter of Queen Elizabeth II conducted 214 royal engagements in 2022 - which is 33 more than her brother King Charless III who was involved in 181.

It has been a turbulent year when it comes to the UK monarchy following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September. Her Majesty became the longest-serving monarch in the country’s history with a reign of 70 years and 214 days.

The Queen, who passed away at her Balmoral Castle residence in Scotland, was succeeded by eldest son King Charles III. His Majesty’s wife Camilla has since been named Queen Consort.
