Should Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie be funded as full time Royals?

The Ann in my name is without an e. Mind you my Jenifer has only one n. Rather than admitt my mother was dyslexic ( she was an infant teacher) I explain that I was born during rationing.

From BBC News archives:

On 29 August 1950, the name of the new princess was announced: Anne Elizabeth Alice Louise. Her official title was Princess Anne of Edinburgh.

She took her middle names from relatives: Elizabeth was after her mother and grandmother, Alice from Princess Alice of Battenberg - the Duke of Edinburgh's mother, Louise was the name of the eldest daughter of King Edward VII - her great-great grandfather.

The Westminster Registrar went to Clarence House to complete the birth certificate.

Are they not sufficiently 'in the know?'

No

Wouldn't they fall through?
Some used to have those velvet crowns in as well eg

Mine has anyway, quite helpful if you're having a lucky dip.

She is Princess Anne, she may have been born after rationing ended.

I was always told that if your name was Ann you only put an E at the end if you were a princess..but then I was told alot of things as a kid, probably to shut me up. My name is not Ann or Anne, by the way so why should I care

I have a lot of Ann(e)s in my life, trying to remember which has the 'e' and which doesn't, is hard work, especially as they are so proprietorial about the 'e' or its absence and get quite upset/shirty when I get it wrong.

Who remembers the bit in Anne of Greengables when she begs a bemused Marilla to call her Ann with an e? It was SO important to her.

NO!

Unless they are performing a public function on behalf of the Queen they should be funded by their father Andrew who should also fund their personal protection services. I would prefer my taxes were used for more socially useful activities.

There just aren't enough Royal duties for them to perform.

Remember when we were young hardly a day went by without a Royal opening something or attending a prade or religious ceremony? The Kents and the Gloucesters were often drafted in to fill the ranks.

Royal appearances are much rarer now. Maybe it's a question of cost and security but Beatrice and Eugenie would be surplus to requirements.

It would give them a chance to wear those hats again though...so maybe they should do a few more duties.

Absolutely not. The fewer offspring from very wealthy families that the state supports the more funds are available for those who genuinely need financial help to get by day to day:e.g. sick and /or disabled. I object strongly that my taxes ever support fit and able priveledged young people to cut ribbons!
