I don't remember her being at Prince William's St. Andrew's ceremony.

She and Prince Phillip were definitely there. They sat in the balcony (I believe) with Charles and Camilla.
I think Beatrice has many options and is in a fortunate position overall with regard to her career options. IMO her relatively low place in the line of succession means that there aren't a lot of careers she couldn't pursue, an exception maybe being politics. She could work at a museum, at a non profit, at a company or business, she could do further graduate training and look at teaching or research. If the HRH became an issue she could cease to use it in her professional life. I don't know if I see either of the York ladies following a traditional career path, though.
She will always be a HRH and known as one if she looses it in marriage, not sure if she does. She will be criticised to the hilt if she gets a paying job that can be in anyway connecting to her 'contacts' or HRH.
She'll always be Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice. She won't lose her title upon marriage. Her title is her birthright.
Her relatively low place? She's fifth. Two cars with Charles, William, Harry and her father - gone, and she's Queen Beatrice.

Beatrice has got to be careful, and is better sticking to non-profit charity&/work (away from her mother) until she's married and then thinking of something paid perhaps.
Yes, her relatively low place. The odds of Beatrice becoming queen are extraordinarily low and she'll continue to drop ever further down the list as the years go on.
And just because she's legally HRH Princess Beatrice doesn't mean she needs to use the title. I believe Prince Edward's children are legally TRH Prince James and Princess Louise of Wessex but they're not routinely styled as such. Beatrice certainly has the option of not using her title in her day to day working life. Yes, she'll face lots of criticism if she finds paying work but, surprise, surprise, she'll face at least as much criticism if she doesn't.
To be clear though I think a regular, long term, paying job is likely not what these women are going to wind up doing over the next few years. But I disagree with those who think it wouldn't be an option.

I have been a personal shopping assistant. It is merely contacting the customer to let them know when something has come in that they would like. Now, I had to learn how to "nudge" the customer into the purchase (and I was paid commission only). This position was excellent for learning how to handle people.
The position would work into what you've stated, but would start out as a sort of apprenticeship. She would not have the expertise to do what you describe from day 1. If she did well going forward, she would be promoted to the position of buyer.
.... except there may be the small matter of the track record of Beatrice dressing for occassions. Not sure I would want to use the skills of the young princess as a personal shopper.
Journalism ? Yes, but why does it have to be fashion journalism ??
So far I believe Beatrice has a general grip on trends and especially on colours. On a topmodel her fashion choices would look great, they are daring but still mainstream.
Beatrice ended up doing a degree which had nothing to do with fashion so I don't see it as an industry she will be going into.
IloveCP said:.Beatrice has never made a public statement of what career she wants.
I'm not really sure.Beatrice has never made a public statement of what career she wants.Just because she likes fashion does not mean she wants to be in it.The same thing with her degree in history.Maybe she has interest in it but does not want a career in it.Who knows.
I saw in a interview that she did for her 18th birthday that she wants to "be like her mum".Maybe that means doing chairity a lot.
But I hope she takes advantage since some of her cousins and family did not have a choice of having a career.
I wonder whether there's a possibility that Beatrice has been looking for work and not finding anything. There could be a perception among employers that hiring her would be a headache: that she might want a very flexible schedule, that they'd be accused of hiring her because of her social status and not for her employability, that she wouldn't be as good a worker as someone who really needed to work, etc.
