the British Royal Family Actually Works.

The most famous royal in the world, Queen Elizabeth II, is quite busy for a nonagenarian. 'Cabbage,' as she is affectionately called by her husband, attends numerous engagements entertaining heads of state, having palace parties, taking diplomatic trips, and more, Business Insider reports. Queen Elizabeth attended 385 engagements in 2016. And this 91-year-old keeps on going. (Maybe it's because she knows these anti-aging secrets.) Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told Express.co.uk last year: 'She [the Queen] and the Duke of Edinburgh, at 90 and 95 respectively, are unique in over 1,000 years of monarchy and their dedication to duty, and their commitment continues as it has in previous years. So does their robust health, which permits them to undertake so many duties.' There's no time for knitting in a rocking chair for this great-grandmother who has taken her duty as queen seriously for 65 years, this past June marking her Sapphire Jubilee. But even before she was crowned, Elizabeth pulled her weight for her country. During World War II, the then 18-year-old princess joined the Women's Auxiliary Territorial Service and, according to History.com, clipped on her tool belt to get down and dirty as a mechanic and truck driver for the military.

The job description on the official royal website for Charles & Camilla isn't something
you can apply for, but it certainly sounds like a lot to live up to: 'Undertaking
official Royal duties in support of Her Majesty The Queen and on behalf of Her
Majesty's Government, working as a charitable entrepreneur, by supporting
charitable and civil causes which promote positive social and environmental
outcomes and promoting and protecting national traditions, virtues, and
excellence.' Not only is Charles committed to attending various royal
engagements like his dear old mum, but at the request of the British
Government he's been asked to further British diplomatic interests
with visits overseas. And when he's home he heads up 13 of his own
charities, including The Prince's Trust, The British Asian Trust, and
Business in the Community. He is a well-known environmentalist and
has introduced many sustainability initiatives, including reducing food waste and
organic farming, to many of the royal homes and grounds, and he made the movie
Harmony: A New Way of Looking at Our World. As for the Duchess of Cornwall,
in addition to supporting her hubby at engagements, Camilla is also involved with
many charities and events.
