I've seen the royal skips on engineering trains around the south east of England.

I could be wrong (I probably am ) but I get the feeling that the royal 67's are used on other workings more often than the 47's were.

Probably are. I've seen a photo of a royal 47 hauling a failed virgin 90 and Mk2 set but I've seen the royal 67s work all sorts.

This may be a bit off topic but you will probably find the royal 67s and the rest on all sorts of stuff now beacuse of the amount of 66s going over to France. A couple of weeks ago, EWS operated a 67 driver training run from Hoo Junction - Hoo Junction via the Medway Valley line, Tonbridge, Rye, Hastings, Eastbourne, Brighton and reverse.

Could also be why the few remaining EWS 37's are still working pretty hard.

Most likely true.
