The job also includes managing, leading, conceptualizing, and delivering overseas visits for the prince and princess, covering internal and external processes from start to finish.

Part of William and Kate’s responsibilities as working members of the royal family is to participate in royal engagements, whether it’s taking diplomatic trips or hosting heads of state. According to the New York Post, William and Kate clocked in 172 and 123 engagements respectively in 2023.
