Will Princess Beatrice step up and take on royal responsibilities?
She hasn't been asked, as far as we know.
Will Princess Beatrice step up and take on royal responsibilities?
Lately we’re beginning to see more of Beatrice and Eugenie.
I know they won’t be full time royals, but i think it’s very likely that they’d be part time royals - something like Prince and Princess Michael of Kent.
I don’t know why, but as the Queen is aging, I see her giving some of her patronage’s to her York granddaughters
Would others agree that Beatrice, Eugenie, Harry, Meghan, and Prince and Princess Michael are all now in exactly the same situation when it comes to their official status in the BRF?
Interestingly I think we are seeing less of them. They aren't doing as many things that would be associated with the family - charities etc as in the past. They usually attend about 5 - 10 official engagements a year between them and 2019 saw them do 8 (Beatrice 3 and Eugenie 5).
Eugenie is spending her time working and settling into marriage so we occasionally see some picture of her attending a restaurant with Jack or something similar but not at a 'royal' type event.
Beatrice also seems to be taking fewer 'holidays' (in other words she is going to fewer events overseas for Affiniti which the media dubs 'holidays' as well as actual holidays).
I do think we will see less and less of them, now that Andrew is no longer a working royal.
I am wondering whether the idea that not being a working royal equally no HRH as applied to Harry and Meghan will also extend to Andrew, Beatrice, Eugenie and the Michael's of Kent. If it does then Lady Beatrice and Lady Eugenie will be able to slip under the radar even more.
“It’s quite clear that one of the consequences is that Beatrice and Eugenie will now be brought forward — if they’re willing to be brought forward,” said Lacey.
“If two go out, two have got to come in, and those two have got to be Beatrice and Eugenie. I’m sure they will step forward and be greatly welcomed. It’s what the family needs as it’s another 15 years before Prince George’s generation steps up. It’s ironic that Harry mentioned his cousins as models of how he wants to be.”
Robert Lacey seems to think Beatrice and Eugenie are the natural successors to Harry and Meghan.....but, this seems pure speculation (logical, because help is needed). Would they want to step up? I imagine so - and I don't think people would hold their father's actions against them.

No, I don't think Charles would want to use them.. and if they DID ever fancy a life as working Royals, I think they've now given up on the idea and probably don't want public exposure at this stageRobert Lacey seems to think Beatrice and Eugenie are the natural successors to Harry and Meghan.....but, this seems pure speculation (logical, because help is needed).

I do not think BEatrice & Eugenie will be brought forward. Instead, IMO, Edward and Sophie will start to do higher profile engagements.
Yeah I lean toward it will be The Wessexes brought forward as opposed to The York girls...we don't even know if they would want to do it, but if you believe the rumor about the slimmed down monarchy then it's very unlikely we will see the York girls even as part time working Royals.
I doubt that they would bring forward Louise and James and ignore the two princesses. At the same time I don't think they will use the York princesses at all. It is clear that the British public simply don't like them and they BRF would be stupid to replace the much loved Harry with a loathed York and the media have ensured that the York girls are despised at best.

The York girls are not disliked. I don't think most people have an opinion or can even tell them apart really. The are just kind of clumped together and called the princesses. They are fine. People would accept them being more high profile.
No, they're not much liked. They have the baggage of being the children of Fergie and Andrew..and not much else is known about them...
Edward being over a decade younger than Charles is an advantage now, seriously - because although Charles is in great health, he's in his 70's. Queen needs help now, but I'm thinking further down the line as well. And, if he and Sophie get involved, perhaps their children will too.

The Wessex children will never be working royals. They'll be private but titled citizens like the Kent & Gloucester offspring.

Why can’t they ? Let’s face it, the BRF needs support - it has to come from somewhere. If not the Wessex children or the Yorks, who?

Would it be considered disrespectful if Lady Louise and Viscount James would be brought forward for royal duties instead of Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice?

They'll just step up the Wessex's working and cut back on a few things. Sophie and Edward didn't want their children to be royal, so I doubt if they'll want them to take on royal workl
How do Germany, France, the USA, Russia, China, Italy etc. do it without children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, uncles and aunts of the head of state?
With other words: the number of royals is never a necessity but always a choice. Buckingham Palace's balcony is almost overcrowded with all possible folks and that is a choice. There is no need for a Princess Anne or for a Prince Harry. Otherwise, how could a Trump or a Putin do it wirhout a sibling or a grandson?
It is not that the Show Pony Association, the Dogs for the Deaf, the Airlander Club, the Galloway Cattle Society or the Hallamshire Cutlers collapse because royals do no 300+ "duties" a year anymore.
The Queen started in 1952 and in fact a structural, way overdue, change has never been made. Meaning that it is up to Team Charles & William to rethink and revamp the monarchy for the decades to come.
