Both girls are between "a rock and a hard place" when it comes to living their lives. They can't hide who they are, which is going to be a monumental obstacle into having their own careers. IMO, neither of them chose substantial subjects to study while at university. Hopefully, after a bunch of "internships" they will both pursue higher degrees in a specific profession so they can both get meaningful work. Of course, I believe they will both marry well and if that's the case, the ability to work might not be important at all.
Thanks for the insult - I didn't realise that I hadn't studied a 'substantial' subject at uni - e.g. History. You may not have realised that what you said was insulting to a very large number of people - myself included, who have spent our lives in studying history and making careers in a range of areas based on those degrees.
I am sorry but anyone who doesn't think that 'history' is a 'substantial' subject simply doesn't know what it involves or the careers that it can lead to - we have a chart at my school with well over 100 career options for people with degrees in History.
Beatrice has a good degree in a field that she chose so presumably she has some idea of where she would like to go - unless the idea of that she and her sister aren't to be doing royal duties has only just been sprung on them this year (as she was about to finish her degree), which I suspect might be the case and hence she is looking around with internships to find a career that she will enjoy and one that will also use her skills - history is a subject that trains people to think, evaluate, research etc etc etc.
Last time I checked Eugenie was studying politics - another substantial subject, along with English and Art History - again a coures that involves the devopment of a lot of skills.
Both girls could develop wonderful careers within the royal fold based on those skills with the Royal Archives and the Royal Art Collections.
