    THE Royal Family may need a “plan B” when it comes to its working individuals, and Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice may have to step up, according to an expert.

    Katie Nicholl spoke on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show about how King Charles’ plan for a “slimmed down monarchy”, may have to be rethought.

    The Vanity Fair’s royal correspondent explained: “We don’t have Harry and Meghan over here, who would have been doing so much of the work.

    “The Duke of York has been ostracised and stripped of his royal duties

    “We’ve got Princess Anne, who’s about to turn 75 but still carrying out hundreds of engagements a year. We’ve got the Edinburghs.

    “We’ve got the Waleses but you know, with the princess having gone through her own health journey, her workload has been reduced over the past year. 

    “So there’s got to be a plan B. We may have to look at something different. 

    “I think the king’s whole idea of a slimmed down monarchy is something that is having to be readdressed because of circumstances within the royal family.”

    Katie stated that Princess Beatrice, 36, and Princess Eugenie, 34, could find themselves with a larger role within the royal family as a result.

    The daughters of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York, are currently not considered working royals and don’t receive public funding for their security.

    The royal expert continued: “When you look at Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, they’ve been very much encouraged to go and live independent lives of the royal family, to earn their own living, not to be dependent on taxpayer funded security, not to be a drain, I suppose, on the public purse. 

    “So it would be a step in a different direction. 

    It’s time for Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie to step up now Meg & Harry have left gaping hole in royal family, says royal expert

      “I think possibly it is being looked at. 

      “I mean, Princess Beatrice was there on Christmas Day, that was a sort of very visible presence for her. 

      “They’re sort of welcoming her back into the royal fold. 

      “I know that both Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are keen to do some royal work around their jobs and their home lives.”

      York sisters’ ‘normal’ lives

      Princess Beatrice who is expecting her second child with her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, 40, pursued a career in finance, working first as an analyst at a wealth management firm before eventually becoming the Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at software company Afiniti.

      Meanwhile, Princess Eugenie moved to New York to work for the online auction firm Paddle8 as a benefit auctions manager in 2013.

      In July 2015, she returned to London to work for the Hauser & Wirth art gallery, as an associate director, and two years later was made a director of the company.

      Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice's close bond

      Over the years, the Queen‘s granddaughters have often spoken about their incredible bond and have previously described themselves as “each other’s rocks.” 

      Princess Beatrice was the first child born to the Duke and Duchess of York – Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson – back on August 8, 1988. 

      The Duchess gave birth at London’s Portland Hospital for Women and Children, and Beatrice’s full name was announced as Beatrice Elizabeth Mary almost two weeks later.

      The couple – who divorced in 1996 – then welcomed Princess Eugenie, whose full name is Eugenie Victoria Helena, on March 23, 1990.

      As a result of their close bond, it’s no surprise that back in 2018, as Eugenie made her way down to Windsor Castle for her royal nuptials, her maid of honour Beatrice was firmly by her side. 

      When asked about her maid of honour by TLC, Princess Eugenie said, “I can’t think of anyone I’d want by my side other than her.”

      Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank are parents of two little boys, August and Ernest.

      Host Bronte Coy pointed out that things have “changed so dramatically for the royal family in recent years” that we could see “some new approaches in the future”.

      Lady Louise’s future role

      Katie also stated that Prince Edward and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh’s, children Lady Louise, 21, and James, Viscount Severn, 17, could get involved with royal duties.

      She added: “One wonders if perhaps that’s a template that might work for Viscount Severn and Lady Louise Windsor, because I think there’s had to be a rethink at the palace, because the shape of the royal family, the dynamic of the royal family, has changed.

      “There is a way of doing it, and it wouldn’t necessarily have to be the case that Lady Louise and Viscount Severn would have to be full time working roles.

      “I think there is a compromise here. 

      “She’s at university, he’s at boarding school. They’re clearly going to go on their own trajectories. 

      “When you look at Sophie and Edward, they’re so down to earth in so many ways. 

      “They’ve shielded those children very deliberately from the spotlight, thrusting them to a life of royal duty, I don’t think is on the agenda.

      “But I don’t think it’s completely a wild idea that they might be called upon on occasions where appropriate to support the monarchy.”

      Bronte added: “Particularly because, as I understand, Lady Louise turned down the opportunity herself to have the HRH title. 

      “It’s expected that her brother may do the same, but we’ll see. 

      “I suppose anything could happen under a new reign.”

      Alexander: The No. 1 UCLA women keep rolling, but the standards are high

      LOS ANGELES – The standards do not change, even as UCLA’s women’s basketball Bruins continue to stack victories and remain the hunted.

      They will be No. 1 in the AP poll for the 10th straight week – a record for a Big Ten team – after Sunday’s 79-53 conference victory over Minnesota, a tight game that turned into a rout thanks to a 20-6 Bruins run inside the final 7:06.

      But no, the bar hasn’t been raised. It was always high.

      This is what coach Cori Close said during a halftime interview over Pauley Pavilion’s loudspeakers, with her team holding a 33-28 lead: “We’re not playing with connectedness defensively. We’re not playing with connectedness and purpose offensively. … We’ve got to get out of our feelings and toughen up.”

      Rest assured, the Bruins figured it out. Lauren Betts was swarmed by multiple defenders on most possessions – “Double teams? Try triple and quadruple teams,” Close said – but the 6-7 junior ended up with 11 assists along with six points and six rebounds. Finnish freshman Alina Aarnisalo scored 15 points, Kiki Rice 14 and Londynn Jones 13 – including a crowd-pleasing sequence when she had the ball stripped from her by Amaya Battle, chased after Battle and stole it back, then came back the other way and knocked down a jumper from the corner of the key.

      “We talk a lot about our talent being the floor and our character being the ceiling,” Close said. “And two of the character traits that I think are most important for this team is a consistent selflessness and a consistent work ethic that is beyond our opponents. We obviously have a lot of talent pieces, but can we have those character traits be really solid?”

      They seem to be, and maybe an indication could have been seen in the Mo Ostin Basketball Center, UCLA’s practice facility, for those up early enough to check it out. Close noted that a good number of players were in the gym at 7:45 Sunday morning, on a game day, shooting and working and preparing.

      “Kiki Rice’s elite work ethic has created a culture in our program that you feel left out if you’re not doing the extra work,” Close said. “And that started with what she has brought to our team. And now it’s like every single person comes. And it’s not driven by the coaches. It is driven by the players.”

      Rice said it’s “just become a habit for everyone on our team. Everyone’s in there, 12 o’clock game, whatever, super early, rolling in there at 7 a.m. and starting our workouts.

      “And I think it’s a testament to just the character and the group that we have that everyone wants to do whatever it takes to be their best selves for this team, and I think it’s definitely been a huge area of growth from like my freshman year to now … Every day before and after practice, there’s someone shooting, so it’s great to see.”

      Close noted the other day that she wasn’t hired to win something in January or February. In other words, the goal remains to be the last team standing in April. The Nov. 24 victory over South Carolina at Pauley Pavilion boosted the Bruins into the No. 1 spot and got the nation’s attention, but when I asked Close if that lofty ranking had raised the bar in terms of what she expected in terms of the team’s culture, standards and work ethic, she said no.

      “I think that the standard was already there because we already wanted to have championship standards,” she said. “So those were already laid out for us. You know, we study in the off-season every year, what are the Final Four teams doing that maybe we’re not yet. And then what are the gaps that we need to close?”

      Here is one example. UCLA has three of the top 25 rebounders in the Big Ten in Betts (9.9 per game going into Sunday, which was third in the conference and 25th nationally), 6-4 junior Janiah Barker (6.8, 21st in the Big Ten) and Angela Dugalić (6.0, tied for 25th in the conference). And the Bruins as a team are fourth nationally in rebounds per game (45.4) and first in rebounding margin  (16.3) and top the Big Ten in both categories. Sunday they had a 36-31 edge over the Gophers.

      It’s not enough.

      “People can say statistically where we are in the Big Ten, but we go by percentages of our misses,” Close said. “Percentages of our misses on offense, we try to get 40 percent or better. And on defense, we’re trying to get 70 percent or better, 75% actually. We’ve been in the 60s the last three games in a row.

      “And I told (the players), ‘Do you guys want to run or not?’ And they said, ‘Yeah, we want to play in transition. We didn’t like grinding it out and have them be able to set their defense and double team.’ (So) get more rebounds. When you get more defensive rebounds, you earn the right to play in transition that way. And so I don’t think that we’ve changed the standards. It takes what it takes to be a championship team, and it’s just a matter of what kinds of habits we’re willing to earn.”

      Interesting phrasing. On teams I’ve been around – and teams I was on, as a very modestly talented high school JV player long, long ago – the question “Do you want to run” usually meant that not shaping up quickly on the practice floor meant running sprints, and lots of them.

      Maybe she’s used it in that sense, too, given that she noted her biggest challenge coaching this team is “creating a sense of discomfort when we are below the standard, when the game doesn’t provide that discomfort.”

      But that voluntary extra work in the gym sends this message: The players care, mightily, about meeting that standard. With that attitude, and a team that has both great ambition and the wherewithal to achieve its goals, such admonishment shouldn’t be necessary that often.
