Charles has undertaken engagements on 161 days since becoming King, including travelling to all four nations of the UK.
The number of British overseas territories had started to reduce by the time Elizabeth became Queen – such as India gaining independence in 1947 – meaning her first year saw far fewer colonial-related engagements.
By contrast, Elizabeth II did not make an official visit to Scotland until June 1952, four months after becoming Queen, though she travelled to the royal residence of Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire in a private capacity in May. Extended trips to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all took place in July, followed by a three-day tour of Yorkshire in October.
While George did not clock up as many public visits as Charles, he undertook far more meetings and audiences than both his daughter and grandson – a reflection again of his close interest in affairs of state and politics.
