A notable indicator of this evolving role is Beatrice's recent assumption of a patronage previously held by her grandfather, Prince Philip. Historically, Prince Philip was known for his dedicated support and numerous patronages, often representing the royal family in various charitable and ceremonial functions. The transfer of this patronage to Beatrice is seen by royal commentators as a sign that the Palace is gradually entrusting her with more responsibilities, aligning her more closely with the active duties traditionally associated with long-standing members of the monarchy.
