King Charles has recorded his busiest year on the throne so far, undertaking official engagements on 175 days in his third year as monarch, according to the Court Circular. This marks a significant increase from 133 days in his second year and 161 in his first year.
The King travelled extensively, including visits to Australia, Samoa, Canada, Poland and Italy. In Italy, he became the first British monarch to address the country's parliament. He also made a historic trip to Poland for the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
Domestically, the King visited locations across the UK, from Lossiemouth in Scotland to Deal in Kent, and attended events in cities such as Belfast, Birmingham and Edinburgh. One notable engagement saw him board HMS Prince of Wales in the English Channel.
The Queen carried out engagements on 103 days during the same period, slightly down from 107 in the previous year. She accompanied the King on international trips and undertook solo visits, including to Hexham, Swindon and Plymouth.
The King held 22 formal audiences with the prime minister and 11 meetings of the Privy Council in his third year. He also continued one-to-one audiences with senior figures, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in June 2025 and French President Emmanuel Macron in July.
