Prince Charles faces constant battle over royal work and helping the environment
At the start of every new year, royal fans eagerly wait to find out who has earned the title of the 'hardest working royal' for their service during the previous 12 months. The competition is usually between The Prince of Wales and The Princess Royal who earn their top spots thanks to their incredible work ethic and dedication to their royal duties. Princess Anne took the crown in 2021 when she beat her elder brother to the title after she carried out 387 official engagements to Prince Charles' 385. While these figures are astounding, it would seem that the environmental impacts of getting from one royal engagement to another weigh heavily on the future king's mind.
