Are we absolutely positively sure that the girls don't have one? As you, yourself, have stated, "The family order isn't a knighthood, but a family Memento. Just pointing out the difference."
I do agree that it is very possible that one of the Queen's requisites for the recipient that marries into the family show willingness to be an actual part of the working "Firm" and have a stable marriage but with being a "memento" and a family type of thing, its very possible also that HM wanted her granddaughters to have one. We'll probably never know unless Bea and Eugenie do attend a formal event in the future.
I don't know. It would be a waste for them to have it, but never able to attend events where it's required to be worn. Also, how fair would it be for them to have it and wear it, but Catherine (who's an actual working senior royal) can't wear hers.
It's just crazy to leave Catherine bare of the family order after all this time and given the events she attends. What's also crazy is that some don't really think it's important.
What would people say if Sophie and Camilla didn't have it? Or even the other European royals like; Mary or Marie. I think some questions would be asked and eyebrows raised.
