Will Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie become the new stars of the royal family?
The York sisters are taking on more prominent roles within The Firm, proving themselves to be increasingly invaluable to the modern monarchy
Rarely courting the cameras, demanding praise or expecting fanfare, Princess Beatrice and her younger sister, Princess Eugenie, have taken on something of a higher profile within the royal family in recent months – with some predicting that they will soon prove to be some of The Firm's most underrated star players.
‘Although Prince William still believes in a “slimmed-down monarchy”, he is increasingly aware of the hard work of his extended family,’ one courtier told MailOnline. The sisters do appear to be much valued by their cousin, who has now issued them both with invitations to garden parties at Buckingham Palace on consecutive years – with Princess Beatrice only missing the most recent event to attend the Matrix Awards in New York for women in communications.
At the most recent garden party, hosted by Prince William and the Princess of Wales, Princess Eugenie was present and correct, wearing a classic navy-and-white polka-dot gown that echoed the style worn by Kate several weeks previously. She teamed it with a smart, navy boater and a stunning pair of sapphire-and-diamond earrings by royal jeweller, Garrard, looking every inch the modern Princess as she chatted to guests and mingled on the lawn with her cousin.

They both seem pleasant enough and like pretty decent people. They can't help who their parents are.

Aren't they the only ones still close to Harry? I doubt angryman Wills wants them anywhere near the monarchy.

Eugenie is very close to Harry. Her husband is some rea estate investor with interests in a huge development in Portugal which is where Eugenie lives. Or at least she did live there. Beatrice has a role to play on the Privy Council doesn't she? The Kents are circling the drain and the Gloucesters while delightful and hard working are in their 80's even though they look fit. Sophie of Edinburgh has been looking very relaxed and animated during her royal duties. I have to wonder who she's having an affair with.

On an Airline employees chat page, both of them were mentioned as very gracious and pleasant to attend to. They have no scandals of their own, other than taking too many holidays. I think the BRF could use them pretty effectively. I don't blame them for their pretty awful parents.

How many people have absolute shit parents but are, themselves, very decent people? You can never judge people because of who their parents are. The York girls seem like they're pretty kind and decent.

I know several people who had awful parents but turned out as amazing people. A therapist told me that children of awful people either turn out a hundred percent like their parents or a hundred percent the opposite.

William, Harry, and both the York princesses are all more than half-British in terms of their ethnic heritage.

I think William and Katherine will trim things down so they can be more like other European monarchies, but they will keep some of the traditions. The Order of the Garter will stay. Opening Parliament will stay, The wreaths at the Cenotaph will stay. But the nursery schools and homes for the elderly, and the random veterans tea gatherings will end. Their priorities will probably be The Environment, British Trade and Cultural institutions, Mental Health, and Children's early childhood education, and always honoring their dead warriors. I think They will not live at Buckingham Palace. Probably, when in London, at Clarence House, and mostly Windsor which is closer to their kids schools, including Eton if George goes toEton.

The notion anyone knows where anyone will live is amusing. But I agree Buckingham Palace has probably been reduced to an event venue. Charles has a nice habit of saying one thing (she will be Princess Consort, we're moving in once the renovation is done) and doing another (she is Queen Consort, eh, maybe we'll stay at Clarence House....) The only problem is maybe the King and Queen should live in it, given the hundreds of millions of pound spend refurbishing it. But if it's opened more to the public, maybe everyone will be cool with the expense to preserve a largely empty building.

We agree on the result. We disagree in the stupidity of the statement. An American saying William will retain the opening of parliament is as silly and arrogant as a Brit saying that US Presidents will continue to decide begin their terms on January 20.

That is a correct statement. And that is precisely what was silly about the post.
If someone were posting in 2020 about the changes Biden would make in the presidency and what he would keep the same, mentioning that the inauguration day would remain on the same day would signal you know nothing about what you are taking about. It something you would never say if you weren't just taking bs.

Just for the sake or argument the Inauguration can be altered. The POTUS is POTUS as of Noon on January 20th. But the swearing in and all the pomp and ceremony are not etched in stone and can be eliminated because they're traditions not rules.

Nobody can Win on DL. These girls seem very grounded and appreciative of their good luck. Yet DL concentrates on their looks; but if they had cosmetic surgery; big lips etc, we'd tear them down for that. Im sure it has not been easy seeing their mother mistreated and dint even talk about their dad. Theyre doing better than 75% of hollywood airs who historically have been a hot mess..with many suicides, drug scandals and sad endings.

I don't think it's impossible that in later years they will perform some royal duties or have some royal patronages, in the way that the Kents and the Gloucesters do. They are already charity patrons. That's nothing to do with being "stars", as the Tatler sees it, however.
Beatrice is already a Counsellor of State, although she may never carry out many or any functions in that capacity.

But they all have the same "look," except for Louis who will probably acquire it as he ages, as the other kids have. Those Windsor genes must be very strong.

Recently, since Katherine and Charles diagnoses they have been making the random appearance at various charitable events in the UK. IMO it makes sense to allow them to help out once in a while. And continue to have their own private lives.
