Not only will the husbands of the York girls be expected to work - so are the York girls themselves. They aren't going on the royal payroll so either they have real jobs - as Eugenie has with the art gallery - or that are seen as do nothing socialites - like Beatrice who has shown an inability to stick to a job for more than 9 months since leaving university.
Charles isn't going to be supporting them and nor is William or George so they will have to marry well, earn their own money, support themselves from their trustfunds or seek government assistance.
They are neither wanted or needed as working royals - either by the next couple of Kings or the British public (my two trips there in the last two years saw not one person speak with any liking for the girls - total 'wastes of air and space' was the most common comment I heard when I asked what people thought about them. No one I have ever spoken to in Britain or elsewhere in my travels who is British has ever had a good word to say about the girls - except for the British posters on here.
Even when I was at Trooping the Colour and they came past in the carriage the comments were scathing about the girls from everyone around me.
I know there has been no 'confirmation' from BP or the BRF about the future role of the girls but the story about a slimmed down royal family has been doing the rounds now for close on a quarter of a century. The people will feel betrayed if Charles doesn't follow through with this idea now - rightly or wrongly. The press are in control and they have made it clear - good Diana's sons vs bad Fergie's daughters - and so no role for the girls.
Some places I have been I have read that the public expect even Charles' siblings to be wiped from the engagements roster at his accession - not just the Queen's cousins - but definitely Andrew, Edward and Sophie. Anne is given a pass due to her past hard work.
I do read a lot of places other than here and the DM and it does make for some very interesting reading with a range of views expressed with this seeming to be in the minority of wanting a large BRF.
