The Duchess of Cambridge 2019 Engagement Count
Here at Tea Time With The Cambridges, I keep a tally on the amount of engagements that appear in the Court Circular, the official record of The Royal Family’s work, for The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. These numbers are mainly only for me to compare as the years go on and they are in no way a measure of all the work the royals do. Many bloggers keep count but everyone does it differently and their own way. For 2019, I counted that The Duchess undertook 130 engagements at home and abroad (Pakistan). She was just 11 engagements short of beating her all-time record total of 140 in 2016. Full break down:
