Thread: Duties for Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie? - Page 8 - The Royal Forums

I couldnt care whether they were as thin as rakes or fat as fools, I'd just like them to do some bloody work!

Quote: I suspect that Beatrice at least will start full-time royal duties before William. She will graduate in 2011 and could easily be on royal duties by late 2011 (although I suspect another gap year before that starts) or 2012 - the year of her grandmother's Diamond Jubilee. While I agree that at some stage Beatrice will be a fulltime royal I don't think it will be after she finishes university. The Queen didn't expect her...

Quote: Originally Posted by Zonk I disagree. As long as the York girls start to focus on school and duties on behalf of the Queen and later King Charles, interest will remain somewhat the same. When Harry and William start marrying and having kids....people will start to care less about the York girls. But until they (William and Harry) have kids...Bea and Eugenie are still 5th and 6th in line to the throne...I know it bothers some people (no...
