HCP: September 2010

September is here, and with it, comes a new version of the Heir Consort Work Project.

This month has revealed the difficulty in tracking the schedules. An event, which for some was considered official enough to put it on the schedule, was not for others. I am, of course, talking about the Greek wedding.

To make it more equal for all, I have therefore also added that event to the numbers of the princesses whose calendars did not include it. If one of them has it as an official event, the rest of them should also have it counted, in my opinion.

I have also tried similarly to follow that statement with other events that may not have been included on the calendars, but have included cameras or patronages in some way, and where similar events have been added to other royal calendars.

If anyone wants access to the calendar where I’m tracking things, just let me know 🙂


Since we’re also muttering about population size playing a relative part in how much activities there are for royals to attend, I’ve also divided the number of acts they do, on the population size of the country they represent. Acts / Milion people= number.

(I’m not sure if it is relevant, or just an interesting factoid to throw out in internet discussions, but I’m including it anyway. At least it will also give a basis of comparison from month to month for that particular HC.)
