Whoever is in the limelight is not automatically the most diligent.

Prince William, Kate or King Charles III did not work the most in 2022.

London - crown, princess dresses, castles, simply a life in the lap of luxury - that's probably what many a child and one or the other adult dreams of.

But being a member of a royal family isn't just about glamor and glitz, it's also about hard work.

Countless appointments are made over the course of a year and must be attended to by various royals in the service of the crown.

The hardest working royals in 2022 – these are the top 3

The Court Circular lists each year which members of the British royal family have taken on how many commitments.

In 2022, the leader will have an impressive 214 appointments.

As in the previous year, it is Princess Anne who takes first place in the ranking.

At the proud age of 72, she rushes from appointment to appointment, in July alone she was on duty 24 times.

The younger sister of King Charles III has always been considered.

(74) as one of the most dutiful royals.

Behind Princess Anne is her brother King Charles III, for whom it has been an eventful year in every respect.

On September 8, 2022, his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, died at the age of 96, making Charles the new king.

Despite the new task, Charles made 181 royal engagements this year.

The podium completes Charles' and Anne's youngest brother Edward (58).

Prince Edward traveled 143 times in the service of the Crown in 2022.
