“Join Multiplayer Games” Settings
If you have your settings set to block joining multiplayer games, you can’t join any multiplayer games in Minecraft, including shared local worlds, Realms or servers. To enable multiplayer in Minecraft, make sure this setting is set to ‘Allow.’

However, just like ASCllnaut, that setting was already turned on for my children. In other words I'm in the same boat, we can play on the LAN but not on a realm.

Here you can find some troubleshooting tips for Minecraft multiplayer:

Minecraft Realms and Multiplayer Troubleshooting

Minecraft Realms uses "Clubs" for invitations / membership so you need to enable that for her to access them. Also you need to allow multiplayer games.
