Royal Family's Public Engagements Plummet Amid Health Struggles
A new report reveals that the U.K. royal family's public appearances decreased significantly due to health issues affecting key members.
The British royal family's public engagements fell sharply over the past year, largely due to health challenges faced by King Charles III and Catherine, Princess of Wales. According to a recent Buckingham Palace report, the monarchy attended over 1,900 events, down from 2,300 the previous year. This change reflects the impacts of King Charles's cancer diagnosis while still maintaining strong ties with the community, hosting over 93,000 guests across various events. Nevertheless, the royal family is committed to their outreach activities, with King Charles returning to royal duties successfully after his health setback.
