Public role
The British Royal Family members support her majesty, Queen Elizabeth II in her numerous State and national duties. Every member helps with pursing work for charities and other services for the public because The Queen cannot make every engagement that she is invited to. Each year "the Royal Family as a whole carries out over 2,000 official engagements throughout the UK and worldwide". Some of the engagements are attending State funerals or going to national festivities where they represent The Queen and their nation. When The Queen throws events such as garden parties and receptions the members are engaging with the guests making them feel welcomed.

The Royal Family also has a huge role in supporting the Armed Forces. They recognize the hard work that the soldiers, airmen, and sailors do by paying visits to them whether it be in State or abroad.

Members of the Royal Family have branched off and started their own individual charities. Prince Charles started a his own charity called 'The Prince's Trust'. This charity helps young people in the UK that are disadvantaged. The Princess Royal also started a charity called 'The Princess Royal Trust for Carers'. Her charity helps unpaid carers, giving them support that they need and benefit claims.
