Had she not been asked to take on royal duties due to a lack of working princesses, she would have otherwise lived a private life outside of the court. Perhaps soon the York princesses will be extended working status. <br /><br />Last year, Princess Beatrice accompanied the Queen at the annual Maundy service. Wasn't that a "testing of the waters" to entertain the idea of giving her working status?

Even King Juan Carlos has lived last year his "annus horribilis" and still will have problem this year, his abdication won´t be good for Spanish monarchy.<br />The King and The Queen of Spain are more popular than their son Felipe and their daugther in law. Nobody in Spain want at the moment a King Felipe and a Queen Letizia.juanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110583495856711286noreply@blogger.com
