Eugenie does a fair bit for the orthopedic hospital where she had her operation and scoliosis charities in general for obvious reasons. Beatrice is dyslexic (as is her husband apparently) so does some work there and with children. Ed has taken on a lot of his father's interests such as the DoE scheme, playing fields trust, Commonwealth Games, Paralympics, and associated charities. Sophie is pretty busy too with the British Council and solo overseas visits; for obvious reasons she has fundraised for the hospital where Louise was born, takes an interest in premature babies, eye problems, and is now campaigning for menopause-associated groups, having been open about her own problems. They are said to be very well briefed on all their interests and obviously do a lot of reading up etc. With Anne, I was working somewhere where she attended to unveil a memorial and she went well over time speaking to every bereaved family for as long as they wanted, with kindness and compassion; she was said to know the work of Save The Children inside out too and do a lot behind the scenes. Harry, for all his faults, has done a lot of good with Sentabale and the Invictus Games. On another forum I'm on, about historical and royal jewellery, everyone feels that HM really ought to lend Sophie a decent couple of tiaras and necklaces, given that the Wessexes are usually the ones shoved off to foreign royal events and she doesn't really have anything particularly nice, even if she isn't in the main line

As for surrogates, Emma Weymouth, now the Marchioness of Bath, did an article or two about how they had to use a surrogate for their second son as she nearly died in her first pregnancy and was told it would be too dangerous to have another pregnancy. I don't think anyone has said anything about it affecting inheritance as the child is genetically hers and her husband's.
