In light of the absence of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie as working members of the Royal Family, King Charles is advised to explore avenues for their involvement in royal duties.
As non-working royals, Beatrice and Eugenie are not currently engaged in official royal duties. However, with a shortage of active royals, there is speculation that they could play a role in filling gaps in the royal diary.
Both King Charles and Princess Kate are facing health challenges, leading to a reduction in their public engagements. In this context, royal historian Marlene Koenig suggests that giving Beatrice and Eugenie a chance to demonstrate their capabilities through a limited number of engagements could be beneficial.
Koenig emphasizes that while Beatrice and Eugenie may not be suited for roles akin to the King's or Catherine's, there are still numerous essential engagements that they could undertake. These engagements, often described as "bread and butter" duties, could be a way for them to contribute meaningfully to the monarchy.
Although Beatrice and Eugenie maintain private patronages, they have yet to represent the monarchy officially in these capacities. However, Koenig highlights that both princesses are employed in private roles and do not receive royal funding.
Notably, King Charles would not need to provide housing for Beatrice and Eugenie, as they already have their own residences.
The exclusion of Beatrice and Eugenie from the "Members of The Royal Family" section on the official website underscores their current non-working status within the monarchy. However, Koenig's insights suggest that they could potentially play a more active role in royal affairs in the future.
