Completely agreed with all of this. While I don't see Beatrice or Beatrice and Edo becoming full time working royals both because of their own preferences and because of the preferences of the King and the PoW, I can see them stepping in and assisting and, frankly, I'd love to see it. I really think they (along with Mike and Zara) would be lovely assets to the RF and quite useful in this period where they're stretched a bit thin. And I certainly wouldn't mind seeing her at things like state dinners and on the balcony.
I can never see it happening because of the big kerfuffle it would cause. Charles has made such a big thing about working royals that if Beatrice became one I'm sure there would be questions about funding etc around her and the media would jump upon it in a negative way. I'm not even sure if she, or the Gloucesters for that matter, are needed anyway. What does 'needed' actually mean? Lots of events the royals go to would tick along just find with no royal person ever being there, including loads of the things that even Princess Anne does. Out with the monarch's job as head of state no one else in the family really has to do anything.
