Aimeeโs 2023 royal family engagement count: The final results!
Disclaimer; everyoneโs counts will be different, people have different rules to their method of counting the Court Circular. It isnโt a definitive count and is done just for fun ๐
The court circular doesnโt record any work behind the scenes, only public engagements, official meetings and luncheons/dinners. Itโs more a gauge of their public facing roles.
