Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie May Take on More Royal Tasks

The royal family is considering increasing the number of working royals to cover more ground.

According to a royal expert, Prince Charles' intentions to streamline the monarchy have been forced to reconsider.

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie could take on greater royal tasks to fill the void left by Prince Harry and Meghan's Megxit departure, despite a deliberate shifting away from the York family in the last 20 years.

Speaking on GB News, royal expert Rafe Hadelmancou told host Colin Brazier that with the disappearance of Harry and Meghan, there is a dearth of royals on the ground.

The policy of the Prince of Wales had been to streamline the monarchy, so there was a deliberate moving away from the Yorks, from Beatrice and Eugenie.

When asked if this decision had been a mistake, he responded, at the time it wasn't a mistake because everyone thought that the Fab Four would be a new golden age, with Meghan becoming a Heineken princess, able to reach the parts that other princesses couldn't reach.

However, now there is a problem of not having enough people around, and it's going to have to be a big decision in Clarence House and Buckingham Palace.

Do they actually go again to a wider royal family and then get the criticism for everyone being on the civil list and all the cost involved?

Both Beatrice and Eugenie are not registered as working members of the royal family and are not funded by the Sovereign Grant.

Despite maintaining relationships with a selected few charities, the sisters have both embarked on professional careers.

Beatrice has become vice president of strategy partnerships at the tech company Affiniti, and Eugenie has taken a directing position with the art gallery Hauser & Witt.

Notably, it was noted in the mail online that Princess Beatrice could become a counsellor of state, which would enable her to act on behalf of the Queen if she were to become unwell.

Under current royal constitutional law, four counsellors of state are required by the monarch.

Only Prince Charles and Prince William remain in those positions, as Harry and Andrew are no longer qualified due to their detachment from public duties.

As the next in line to the throne, the role could fall to Beatrice, who recently welcomed her first child with husband Edoardo Moppelli Mozzi.

In related news, Thomas Markle Jr. continues to share details about the family's rift with his estranged half-sister Meghan Markle on Tuesday's episode of Big Brother VIP.

The former window fitter said he and the Duchess of Sussex were brought up in a divided family – he shares dad Thomas Markle Sr. with the royal.

He said that his parents also split when he was really young, just like the former Suits star, whose mum Doria Ragland split from her husband when she was only six years old.

However, Thomas Jr. remembers how he babysat and fed his sister when he was 15 and did the normal family stuff.

He said their dad always made sure that they got together for the holidays.

Speaking of the patriarch of the family, he said their father does not approve of Prince Harry.

“My father says that he couldn't even protect those chickens in their backyard if he needed to,” Thomas Jr. revealed during his one-on-one interview on Big Brother VIP with Nova FM's Fitzy and Whipper.
