THE CHILDREN OF KING GEORGE III & QUEEN CHARLOTTE OF THE UNITED KINGDOM

The royal couple welcomed a total of fifteen children together, but sadly not all of them survived into adulthood. Two, Prince Octavius and Prince Alfred, passed away in infancy, at the ages of 2 and 4, respectively, from smallpox. Later on, Princess Amelia also sadly died young, albeit it at the age of 27, after succumbing to tuberculosis. As for when their brood started to arrive, it seems George and Charlotte wasted no time in getting to know one another and less than a year into their marriage, on 12 August 1762

Aimee’s 2023 royal family engagement count: The final results!

Disclaimer; everyone’s counts will be different, people have different rules to their method of counting the Court Circular. It isn’t a definitive count and is done just for fun 💗

The court circular doesn’t record any work behind the scenes, only public engagements, official meetings and luncheons/dinners. It’s more a gauge of their public facing roles.

👑 Princess Anne 👑

Once again Princess Anne tops the chart as the hardest working royal, completing 467 engagements.

She has done 393 engagements in the UK.

She travelled to 10 different countries this year and did 74 engagements there. 🇨🇾🇪🇪🇳🇿🇦🇺🇫🇷🇨🇦🇩🇪🇯🇪🇮🇳🇬🇮

Dubbed by some as the unofficial Queen of Scots she did 62 in Scotland.

King Charles III

In the first year of his reign King Charles did a grand total of 463 engagements

In the UK he did 386 engagements.

He travelled to 5 different countries where he completed 76 engagements and did 3 full royal tours in Germany, France and Kenya. He also hosted a state visit for South Korea at Buckingham Palace. 🇩🇪🇷🇴🇫🇷🇰🇪🇦🇪

What is also worth mentioning is that he has Red Boxes that he has to go through every single day, except Christmas Day and Easter Sunday as well as a lot of work behind the scenes.

Prince Edward, The Duke of Edinburgh

This year, on his 59th birthday, Prince Edward became the Duke of Edinburgh, taking the title of his father. With this he increased his work with the Duke of Edinburgh award and travelling to visit international sections of the award. Prince Edward also visited a lot of theatre related organisations and youth centres and charities.

He completed 294 this year and visited 13 countries on solo tours and with his wife. 🇹🇨🇧🇸🇺🇸🇨🇦🇩🇪🇨🇿🇮🇪🇹🇷🇧🇭🇸🇬🇳🇿🇦🇺🇮🇩

Sophie, The Duchess of Edinburgh

In 2023 Sophie carried on her hard work in areas like women’s rights in disadvantaged areas, avoidable blindness, hygiene and agriculture.

She completed 226 this year in the UK and the commonwealth and visited 10 countries on solo tours and with her husband. 🇳🇱🇹🇨🇧🇸🇮🇶🇮🇹🇪🇹🇨🇦🇨🇴🇨🇭

Prince Richard, The Duke of Gloucester

The Duke of Gloucester has this year completed 208 engagements in the UK.

He continued his long lasting work in heritage, architecture, the St John’s Ambulance and military organisations.

Hopefully next year we will see him do some overseas engagements. 🕯️

Queen Camilla

In the year of her Coronation, Queen Camilla carried out 198 engagements.

She visited Germany, France and Kenya where she did 42 engagements whilst on official tours. 🇩🇪🇫🇷🇰🇪

She focused a lot of her engagements this year on sectors close to her heart like women’s & children’s charities, osteoporosis care and animal welfare.

Prince William, The Prince of Wales

The Prince of Wales this year carried out engagements in the UK and the Commonwealth in areas like mental health, homelessness and conservation. In 2023 he did 183 engagements.

Prince William travelled to 4 countries where he did 32 engagements related to Earthshot in USA and Singapore, visiting Ukrainian troops in Poland, attending the Jordanian royal wedding in June and finally travelling to Kuwait to give his condolences to to The Emir of Kuwait following the death of The Emir Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah. 🇵🇱🇺🇸🇯🇴🇸🇬🇰🇼

Catherine, The Princess of Wales

The Princess of Wales carried out 134 engagements throughout 2023. Catherine continued her work in her Early Years foundation and childhood development.

She visited France for two, one off engagements for the rugby World Cup in France and to Jordan for Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa’s wedding in June. 🇫🇷🇯🇴

Hopefully we will see her and the Prince of Wales go on a couple of overseas tours next year now that their children are older.

Birgitte, The Duchess of Gloucester

The Duchess of Gloucester has this year completed 127 engagements in the UK. She continued her long lasting work in sports, the arts (Opera, Ballet, Acting etc…) and accompanying her husband to official engagements.

Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence

Although not an official working royal, Sir Tim often attends as a great support to his wife’s engagements as well as having his own non-royal patronages and interests. It was recently announced that he would become chair of the Science Museum group and is the patron of a number of heritage organisations.

He accompanied his wife to a total of 92, represented her 4 times and accompanied her to 27 engagements abroad in 5 countries. 🇪🇪🇳🇿🇦🇺🇫🇷🇬🇮

(Operation working royal Tim) 👏

Prince Edward, The Duke of Kent.

Despite being 88, Prince Edward, the late Queens cousin, has carried out 75 engagements even with his ailing mobility.

He continued his valued hard work with organisations like the RNLI, the Royal Scots Guards and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, which he recently passed on the presidency to the Princess Royal.

Princess Alexandra of Kent

Although she is practically retired now, we have seen Princess Alexandra attend four official engagements in 2023. Firstly she attended a Reception for British East and South-East Asian Communities, secondly to present medals to members of The Royal Lancers, thirdly she attended the Coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla and lastly she visited the Royal Chelsea Flower Show.

This year the British Royal Family completed a grand total of 2476 in the UK and 29 different countries across the world.

The Dukes of Edinburgh, Gloucester, Windsor and Kent march during the funeral procession of King George VI // 15 FEBRUARY 1952

��It was a long walk to Paddington, past the Cenotaph, along the Mall, where Queen Mary watched the procession pass from her balcony at Marlborough House, past what was left of 145 Piccadilly, the King’s home before his accession, and up Park Lane to Paddington. The Duke of Edinburgh and the Duke of Windsor wore naval uniform, the Duke of Gloucester a military greatcoat, and I wore an overcoat and top hat. I was only sixteen.’

- THE DUKE OF KENT (A Royal Life, 2022)

Prince Edward, Duke of Kent Born: October 9, 1935, Belgrave Square, London, England Physique: Thin Build Height: 6′ 1″

Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, KG, GCMG, GCVO, CD, ADC is a member of the British royal family. Queen Elizabeth II and Edward were first cousins through their fathers, King George VI, and Prince George, Duke of Kent. Edward's mother Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark was also a first cousin of the Queen's husband Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, making him both a second cousin and first cousin once removed to King Charles III. He is currently 40th in the line of succession to the British throne.

The Duke of Kent has been a working member of the Royal Family since he retired from the British Army in 1976. He is a familiar face to many from his long-standing Presidency of The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, for which he presented the winners’ trophies at Wimbledon for more than five decades. Currently, His Royal Highness divides his time between engagements relating to his own Patronages, and work in support of The King and the wider Royal Family.

This Prince Edward thing for me is like Pokémon, I gotta catch 'em all. Although I don't want to fuck him now, (when he was younger... much younger, was fuckable) unless I'm drunk and high on molly, being gangbanged by every male member over 50 of the British Royal family of which he's apart of.

Prince Edward learns how to Swim

Even royal Dukes like to swim in the sea and Prince Edward, later Duke of Kent, learned how to swim in the summer of 1780.

He wrote to his older Brother Prince William, later William IV, on July 28, 1780 to congratulate him on his approaching Birthday, his recovery from an illness and to tell William of his trip to the seaside. William was the only one of George III numerous children that joined the Royal Navy and Edward did not neglect to include all the fleet movements that he could observe while staying in Sussex. Below the cut is a complete transcript of the letter but I mainly wanted to focus on two paragraphs.

Edwards Birthday Wishes:

My Dearest Brother,

I am very happy to congratulate you upon your approaching [inserted] Birth Day, as well as upon your late Recovery. We heard of your having been ill, and of your being recovered at the time, so that we fell no uneasiness at all, but were rather glad to hear that you had got over so unpleasant an illness.

Edwards learning how to swim:

I am upon the coast of Sussex now together with my two Sisters Elizabeth, & Sophia, & my Brother Octavius, for the benefit of bathing in the Sea; at first I did not like it much, but now I am fond of it. I begin to attempt Swimming, & I hope to get some notions of it before I leave this Place.

I find it quite noteworthy that Edwards congratulate William beforehand on his Birthday (I have always been told that that would bring bad luck.) He writes this letter on July 28 and Williams Birthday was on August 21 … so Edward was quite a few days off. There is a possibility that he thought this would be his last chance to write before August 21, but I find that rather unlikely. Since the word “approaching” was clearly added later, I could imagine that Edward simply confused Williams Birthday. We should not forget that in July 1780, Queen Charlotte was pregnant with her fourteenth child. Edward therefor had to keep track of thirteen birthdays, many of them being quite close together.

Prince Edward to Prince William, July 28, 1780, GEO/ADD/4/204/8 (03/30/23)

My Dearest Brother,

I am very happy to congratulate you upon your approaching [inserted] Birth Day, as well as upon your late Recovery. We heard of your having been ill, and of your being recovered at the time, so that we fell no uneasiness at all, but were rather glad to hear that you had got over so unpleasant an illness.

I am upon the coast of Sussex now together with my two Sisters Elizabeth, & Sophia, & my Brother Octavius, for the benefit of bathing in the Sea; at first I did not like it much, but now I am fond of it. I begin to attempt Swimming, & I hope to get some notions of it before I leave this Place.

If I should want to be put in mind of you, I am daily so [inserted] by seeing fleets pass before my window, bit I trust that my dear Brother knows that I want nothing to remind me of him.

We have had Captain Cummins of the Carisford Frigate to guard the Coast between Dungenness and Beachy Head; but he quited the Station on the Last Day of June; Lieutenant Macdowgal of the Flying Irish Cutter was lately relived by Captain Fortescue of the Scourge Brig, and Lieutenant Bivet of the Surprize Cutter. These two vessels in Company with the Carisford took a very good prize, as they were coming here. You see that by his Majesty’s kind care we are not entirely left at the mercy of Privateers that might have come this way.

We have all received great benefits from sea bathing. I daresay that your letters from Windsor inform you that all our family is very well. I conclude, Dear Brother, with assuring you that success to the fleet & continuance of good health to you are the constant & sincere Wishes

Of your very affect. Brother

Edwards

P.S. Mr. Bruyeres desires me to make his best respects & most sincere good wishes for the return of many of your Birth Day in health, happiness & glory [inserted] acceptable to your Royal Highness.

Pray give my compliments to Mr. Majendie, Mr Bruyeres begs to join with me.
