It’s been an emotional couple of weeks for the British royal family. However, it seems they are slowly getting back to business since the devastating loss of Prince Philip. And according to one of the Royal Family’s latest social media posts, one member in particular has extra busy.

On Thursday, the account shared an Instagram post revealing that Prince Edward has carried out a “number of engagements” throughout the last week. Per the caption, these outings included visiting local businesses and personally thanking workers at the coronavirus vaccination sites. (To name a few.)

“The Earl of Wessex paid a visit to a COVID-19 vaccination centre in Windsor, to meet and thank volunteers and key workers who have been delivering the vaccine to the local community and spoke to members of the public who were receiving their jabs,” part of the caption read. “The vaccine centre, which is based at the Royal Windsor Racecourse, has been operational since December last year.”

He also recently stopped by Christs College in Guilford where he was shown The Duke of Edinburgh Theatre, opened in his father’s name, and watched students perform before meeting the cast and crew.

Edward and his wife, Sophie Countess of Wessex, have continued to take on more royal responsibility since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry opted to step down as senior members of the royal fam last March. And it seems like they're sticking to it.

Keep up the good work, Edward.
