Prince William, Kate Middleton and Prince Harry clocked up less public engagements than senior royals, figures show
SENIOR royals spent almost twice as many days on public engagements than Wills, Kate and Harry, figures show.
The Queen’s children, Charles, Anne, Andrew and Edward, clocked up 137 days of duties on average.
That compared with 76 for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry.
Anne, 66, the Princess Royal, again had the busiest year, with 179 days of engagements.
The Prince of Wales, 68, was second on 139, with the Earl of Wessex, 52, on 118 and Duke of York, 56, on 112.
Harry, 32, had 86 days of engagements, ahead of his brother William, 34, on 80.
Bottom of the list was mum-of-two Kate, 34, with 63 days.
By contrast, the Duke of Edinburgh, who turned 95 this year, spent 110 days on duties.
