You'd be surprised at a lot of the hands-on work that Royals do. The Queen and princes did military service, Harry famously has been doing active military. They run or at least patron charities, and use their position in public eye to do fundraising or garner publicity for these causes. They can and do officially represent the Queen (the Head of State) around the world, and perform "royal duties". I think there probably is a huge expectation that Meghan and Kate both are active members of the household and being married to a prince is a profession, not a glorified trophy wife.

I would expect that being the patron of a charity, or doing diplomatic tours of the commonwealth, or whatever, doesn't necessarily involve really gritty, nose-to-the-grindstone work. I'm sure that they spend a good proportion of their time doing things that are a public service in some sense, but that doesn't mean that they're working a job the same way that you or I would. Come on now, be real.

Okay, but my executive director or board president don't do what I do, either. Their jobs are to schmooze, network, make those valuable connections, oversee general things, and get the money coming in. Their jobs aren't to do my specialized work or to sit there stuffing envelopes, etc.

I'm not really claiming that royals are doing grunt work every day, but it's just not remotely accurate to assume they don't do anything or have no responsibilities.
