“Reasonableness” is a slogan that, especially in recent years, characterizes Beatrice of York and her sister Eugenia. Perhaps because of the scandals surrounding their father, Andrew, Duke of York, or perhaps because they have never been involved in cutting-edge legal cases, the two sisters keep a strict low profile. Their children (little Sienna, daughter of Beatrice and August, son of Eugenie) did not inherit royal titles, and both princesses work outside the royal world. Even these days, they kept out of the spotlight: they paid their respects to their grandmother, but without public statements, maintaining a respectful silence. However, now that Carlo has become king, things may change, at least for Beatrice, who will receive a new official post.
Prince Andrew’s eldest daughterninth in line of successionwith the death of Queen Elizabeth she became a state councilor along with his father Camilla, Princes William and Princes Harry. According to the royal family’s website, the councilors of state actually include the sovereign’s wife and the next four persons in the line of succession who are 21 years old. “Councilors of State are authorized to perform most of the official functions of the Sovereign.for example, attending meetings of the Privy Council, signing routine documents and obtaining credentials for new ambassadors to the UK.” Beatrice, 34, will be the youngest person to hold the position.taking over the seat vacated by his uncle when he ascended the throne.
Councilors of State, established by the Regency Act 1937, are rarely actually called to take the place of the monarch, but still play an important role at an institutional level within the royal family. It is for this reason that in recent years The Queen’s decision not to remove Prince Harry, and above all Prince Andrew, has been criticized.. Perhaps now it is Charles III who will change the situation, preferring to leave room for family members who want and really can represent the Crown. The balances are shifting, and this time Beatrice and Evgenia can take a step forward.
