oh god, i remember that sussex royal bullshit - my reaction was "do you want to be royals or not"; you can't quit the royal family and then expect people to care about how royal you are, it doesn't work that way

I think that's the part that people are picking up on that's garnering some of the negative attention. They wanted to cherry-pick the best of their royal connections, i.e. the fame that can be leveraged into income, the titles, etc. But they wanted those things without being a "working" royal and doing the things that working royals do. So... yeah, that doesn't look very good.

They were very cool with the working part, though, they just don't want the news crap that comes with it. Which is understandable.

Ehhhh, sort of. I agree, it'd be perfectly understandable not to want "the news crap" and nobody would fault them for that. It's also that they wanted to "work" for a private income in addition to the income they'd draw from the Crown and that's not permitted. The type of work they're also interested in doing is not what the working royals typically do, it's... very American, if that makes any sense. Big splashy projects, big splashy merchandising, sponsorships, that kind of thing. Like GOOP, but royal! That was never going to be palatable to the royal family.

they haven't realised that they aren't the ones who get to choose how famous they are
