Forty percent of respondents to the poll question ‘Who is the most hardworking member of the Royal Family?’ have said they believe Princess Anne to be the hardest working royal. Out of the 1,367 people who took the poll, 541 (40 percent) said the 70-year-old royal worked the hardest. The Royal Circular has revealed each member of the Royal Family has managed to conduct engagements since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
Many of the members of the royal family have completed their engagements using video calls.
The only daughter of the Queen and Prince Philip has often been hailed as one of the most hard working members of the royals and in 2019, she carried out more than 500 royal engagements.
One person commented on the Express Online poll article: “Princess Anne does her work the most quietly and without fuss.”
Another said: “Princess Anne has always been a hard grafter and never gets involved in politics.”
Since lockdown, a study by Resume of the Royal Circular, showed the Princess Royal has worked 50 days and completed 47 engagements.
This year Princess Anne was promoted by the Army and Royal Air Force to mark her 70th birthday.
The poll revealed the Queen is seen as the second most hard working member of the royals, with 27 percent of the votes.
Her Majesty was voted the most assiduous by 376 respondents.
