<\/a> I\u2019m offering a <\/span>year-end holiday discount of 25%<\/strong> on annual subscriptions to my Write Royalty newsletter. Your support means a lot to me, so I hope you\u2019ll join to gain access to paywalled content. The special pricing ends January 15, 2026. <\/span><\/p>\n In addition, my rates are staying at CAD$6 \/ month or $60 \/ year. <\/p>\n Get 25% off for 1 year<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The 10 working royals did 2,459 engagements in 2025, up 23 percent from 2024, a year which saw reduced workloads due to illness. The 2025 numbers were also up two percent from 2023.<\/p>\n The workloads of the four most senior royals jumped the most in 2025, compared to 2024:<\/p>\n Kate: up 423%<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Charles: up 51%<\/p>\n<\/li>\n William: up 45%<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Camilla: up 34%<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n My royal work data has been everywhere, including the <\/span>Daily Mirror<\/a> (the data for its exclusive story was completed a day before the King\u2019s very last engagement of the year) and <\/span>the Telegraph<\/a>, which published its piece on Sunday. <\/span><\/p>\n Other publications, <\/span>including <\/a>Hello<\/a><\/em> magazine<\/a>, have used my data for their own stories with attributions, which is common in the media business. (Please ignore the <\/span>Vanity Fair<\/em> article published on Dec. 24, which, as of today, still spells my name incorrectly throughout \u2014 Teble, sigh \u2014 and also uses wrong royal work numbers. Double sigh. I\u2019m trying to get it corrected.) <\/span><\/p>\n My latest post in this ongoing series on the work year <\/span>is here<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n For those who went offline during the holidays and want to catch up with news of how the royals marked Christmas, <\/span>here\u2019s my post<\/a>, \u201c6 subtle messages of a royal Christmas.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n The behind-the-scenes video of the recording of the King\u2019s message is worth a watch: <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Royal Family<\/span>@RoyalFamily<\/span><\/p>\n\n
