The Prince and Princess of Wales have been urged to up their game with royal engagements as results for this year, so far, appear similar to that of 2019.
Aside from the Prince of Wales’s total of 94 engagements, the Princess of Wales had undertaken 45 of her own solo engagements.
According to the Gert’s Royals website, which is the Encyclopaedia Britannica crossed with the Doomsday Book of royal watching, the couple have taken on 40 joint engagements so far this year.
Royal commentator Daniela Elser has stated that the couple should now be looking at upping their work, especially as their three children grow up.
William reportedly only held 188 engagements in 2019, meaning that he will have to ramp that up to achieve the same in the next four months.
Writing in her column for news.com.au, Ms Elser said that the couple’s circumstances “have changed considerably” since 2019, when all three children were under seven years old.
Speaking of their life back in 2019, she added: “Tiny humans who required constant supervision lest they fall into the Round Pond or manage to set some Restoration tapestry on fire.
“But today all three of the Wales kidlets – Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis – are at school, leaving William and Kate with far more non-peanut butter-smeared time in the day to go out and fly the royal flag all over the UK.
“And yet they do not seem to be doing that.”
Despite being given their new titles of Prince and Princess of Wales last year, Ms Elser accused the royal couple of “largely still working like it’s 2019”.
The royal couple are known for being very hands-on parents to George, Charlotte and Louis – even making sure to clear their schedules for the summer holidays.
Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, eight, and five-year-old Prince Louis are currently all students at Lambrook School.
The trio all began there last year, with it also being the first time they had all attended the same school.
As of earlier this month, the trio are all currently on their summer break from school.
Although it remains unclear what the family of five will get up to, royal expert Jennie Bond claims there “are so many options”.
Ms Bond told OK! Magazine: “If they don’t go abroad then it will probably be the usual mix of Norfolk and Windsor life, full of outdoor play, sports and various fun activities.
“William and Catherine have had a very busy time with the Coronation and their new responsibilities as Prince and Princess of Wales, and probably feel they are due a bit of rest and relaxation… not that is generally much of an option with three young children!”
