So I hate to do the whole “Kate vs Diana” thing but a lot of people in this fandom hold Diana up as a perfect royal so I thought it would be interesting to compare the number of engagements they were doing in the year they gave birth to their second child.
The total number of engagements is obviously lower due to the fact they were pregnant, giving birth, and on maternity leave.
In 2015, the year of Princess Charlotte’s birth, the Duchess of Cambridge carried out 62 engagements.
In 1984, the year of Prince Harry’s birth, Princess Diana carried out 52 engagements (x)
In 2015, Prince William carried out 122 engagements. In 1984 Princes Charles carried out 93 engagements (x).
It’s up to you to decide what that means for you but it’s interesting to be able to compare the numbers. Thoughts?
Thought I’d bring this back given recent conversation
