So you've got to remember that the royal family have all these jobs to do, go and open this plant, go to this charity thing, go and shine a light on this, wear a nice dress to this BAFTAs, whatever.
There used to be a few of them to share that around.
Harry and Meghan.
What?
They're out.
They're not around to do that stuff anymore.
And when that first happened, people said, oh, well, Beatrice and Eugenie will step up and have their profiles raised.
Not so much.
Not so much since what's happened to their dad has happened.
So they're not official working royals.
But a few times a year, they still get invited to the big royal, this is our clan, these are our people.
And those events would be garden parties, the Trooping of the Colour, the church on Christmas Day, Remembrance Day, and Royal Ascot.
The king and the pastor's chosen them to sit in the carriage with him and Camilla.
And it basically says to the world, even though it's just riding in a carriage on a race day, it basically says to the world, this is us.
We're showing our, you know, who makes it into the family photo?
These guys do.
Now the problem is even though they're not working royals and they don't get all the money or anything, they do still live a little bit on the royal hog, right?
They've got a couple of royal trust funds.
So as you say, the Queen Mother set them up a ยฃ5 million trust fund.
40 is a weird age to get your trust fund.
