I like how she lists herself as Beatrice York, I have been really impressed with Beatrice since her marriage, she looks happy, contented, blooming.
Prncess Beatrice attends the Brilliant Minds conference June 13-14 in Stockholm as one of the moderators.
Prince Daniel and princess Sofia attend the conference today, Sofia attends also tomorrow.

There are no part time royals. No continental royal has any part time royal role. Extended family members have jobs.This is nothing new. Bea and Eugenie both have a dozen patronages and have hosted events for them before.
The only difference between them and working royals, they do this out of their own volition. They get no recognition from the court, no funding and the public over looks it unless there is some trip or bad clothing involved.
Its time for the royal family to embrace what continental royals have, the concept of part time royals. These girls have full time jobs and family, and yet still find time to do patronages. It would be a great asset to the royal family to aknowledge one or both as part time working royals.
No continental royal has any part time royal role.
Then am I to understand that you believe all royals in non-British European monarchies either have a full-time royal role or no royal role at all? How would you classify the role of, say, Carl Philip of Sweden or Joachim of Denmark?
Joachim is not a part time royal because he undertakes duties, nor is Carl-Philip of Sweden. The first part of your comment is true. Plus the York girls in contrast have never done royal duties.Then am I to understand that you believe all royals in non-British European monarchies either have a full-time royal role or no royal role at all?

What do you think a royal duty is? Simply knighting people and banquets?There are no part time royals. No continental royal has any part time royal role. Extended family members have jobs.
The difference is that the York girls have not been nor will be working royals. Obviously, the York girls do whatever charitable works on their own dime and time, but no one is forcing them to do anything, they chose to do patronages. No one in the U.K will make complaints about the York girls abundance or lack of patronages. So what if someone writes William’s speeches? elected officials and unelected ones have speeches written for them so I don’t get why you added that.What do you think a royal duty is?

The majority of a working royal's work is patronages. The only difference between the York patronages and William's? He gets a blip on the calendar and payment to cover his costs, and people to write speeches. And the Yorks do it on their own time and dime.
The European continental royals embrace the only ones who need to devote their lives to 'royal life' are the monarch and heir. Others should be free to have careers and lives. And still represent the royal family with patronages and things like state banquets etc. The all in or all out is indeed a British thing.
There is not a royal family in Europe where a sibling of the heir is completely private and doesn't take part in royal duties. Except Martha Louise due to her activities.

Carl Philip is indeed a good example, on the royal court's website it is stated that "HRH Prince Carl Philip performs a number of official assignments each year on behalf of HM The King". So, he is not just a private individual going after his own charitable interests but undertaking activities on behalf of the head of state.
Added bonus of a new photo from that very special day!Edoardo made a lovely post for the couple's 4th wedding anniversary today, July 17:

I thought that was a great photograph, so unlike the usual royal wedding photos.There have been some amazing photos from that most private Royal wedding, but that has to be one of the best... second only to the one with Princess Beatrice peeping out of the flower decked church door!![]()
I think it is a unique and totally unrepeatable royal wedding, courtesy of COVID. Just the absolute minimum of family members attended and everything had a 1940's feel to it with a borrowed dress, no hairdressers, not even a sort of formal photo of the bridal party.I thought that was a great photograph, so unlike the usual royal wedding photos.
Beatrice always looks so happy these days.
(Although, I had heard she resigned her job at Afiniti to focus on her charities).
