I was proud of James when he stood with the other grandchildren at the Queen's Lying-In-State. He had his sister next to him, performing royal duties would be different. It would be up to his parents and James himself as he ages, but mostly Edward and Sophie.
Louise also, it's going to be up to her if she wants to be a full time Royal. The whole situation seems to bother the media more than it does the public.
