IMO, all of Beatrice's and Eugenie's charity works should be listed in the CC. If you are a HRH all your charity work etc should be in the CC and when you turn 21 you should be compensated for it.
It makes no sense for Beatrice and Eugenie to do the work without the credit and compensation.
That HRH is a big part of the problem. If they have the tag, they ought to receive credit for the charity work they do and be compensated for it. Noblesse oblige, if you will; they have the Royal style and are expected to do something in return for the status, and when they do they should receive formal credit for it. But their charitable efforts aren't recognised in the CC because they're not full time Royals. That's not fair.
Agreed.Harry and William are praised nonstop for having a job and doing charity work but Beatrice is accused of dabbling and not focused. Beatrice and Eugenie have been attacked by the media since they were in school. It is the same accusations.
If Beatrice's male cousins switch jobs, it is okay but if Beatrice and her sister switch jobs, then they are attacked as lazy and not focused etc.
The same rules should apply to all.
William can take "gap years" while he thinks about what he's going to do in future, and when he changes horses mid-stream it's OK because he's the heir. *eyeroll*
Definitely double standards, but the whole system of royalty and aristocracy is rife with those double standards, particularly with respect to gender.
