I am not a fan of the York family at all, as anyone reading my posts can see BUT why is all this emphasis on the two princesses working or studying or anything else.? They have been born princesses with the magical HRH before their names, which more or less lets them do anything with a body guard to see they come to no harm physically. I actually felt offended when I read here that once Kate Middleton's sister, Pippa, actually expected the two princess to move up and make room for her next to them at a fashion show.
For once I felt the princesses did the right thing and refused.
They have been born to privilege, they have never had to actually do anything, they have been brought up by their parents to expect the world to fall at their respective feet, and the world does, mainly because of these magic letters before their names. Why should they have to work if they don't want to, why should they even study, especially if they are not academically inclined? They are never going to have to earn their own living, do housework unless it is like the Queen, who we have heard, enjoys a little stint of washing up and cooking at her little shooting cabin, when hunting, unless something, Heaven forbid, like the Russian Revolution happens in Britain.
As to how would anyone know that Princess Eugenie is on her way to failing this year, anyone who studies with her would probably know that, and any lecturer as well and not everyone in her year is actually a friend so if a reporter asks them he is quite likely to get an answer.
They are seen partying all the time and recently in a place that is thought of a a kind of den of iniquity, and then this story is told, well I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear its true, but why does it matter?
Prince William can go to a posh restaurant in tennis shoes and no coat, no one else can, but he has privilege, as Prince Andrew said about his qualifications for representing Great Britain he has "genetical qualifications" and the whole royal family has these very same genes which lets them do anything they please and be venerated as they do it.
For these reasons, I would stop criticising these girls for not studying as hard as some of their not so well off colleagues or later for not getting a job, they don't have to, they were born to a life of luxury, let them enjoy it.
