I'd like to think that you are not being serious by suggesting that Beatrice and Eugenie remove HRH from their personal charity work but I don't believe you are joking since you have previously suggested that they be evicted from any Royal residences.
But you never mention what on Earth they have done to deserve such treatment?
It's like suggesting that the Duke of Edinburgh should have been stripped of all honors....indeed prevented from marrying into the BRF period, because his sisters were Nazis married to high ranking SS officers.
Where does it end?
I don't think Beatrice and Eugenie will have their HRH removed, just they might make the personal decisions not to use it in public. They already do not use it in their work life. But both of them do private engagements - and it is used there.
The housing at Windsor is another issue. There is currently some debate to better and more commercially use the royal estates. One is open them to the public as tourist attractions (year round) and the other is increased farming land or return to nature. The issue is mostly security cost - currently the whole area is policed by the metro police and then the internal house are by a personal security team. There are ways to cut the estate up to make the security at the castle area better, and it will lessen security on the greater property where the cottages and houses are. it they open to tourism - it will be another issue - and will involve greater security risks and costs. In the 1980's and into 1990's - most of the family left their housing on the estate, and they then they were used by staff. I just think that the housing issue will be brought up the closer we get to King Charles. Yes - I know he has a lease - but so did the other royals that left. Arrangements can be made - say Chalres offers to pay half the cost of a house near Beatrice.
