Well, but that isn't wildly unusual, is it? King Abdullah got a walk-on role in one of the Star Trek Voyager episodes, and Professor Hawking got a - I suppose you'd call it a wheel-on - role in one of the Next Generation episodes. And I'm sure nobody treated them like dirt just because they were extras.
I do think it'd be better for the royal family in general and Beatrice in particular if she was seen more often with her father and with the royals. At the moment she seems to be spending time almost exclusively with her mother, and these reports of fashion design and acting are making people wonder what the "Princess" stuff is actually for.
