London – Despite their royal descent, many nobles pursue their own careers.
Carrying out public duties was not enough for them, or, like Prince Harry after his wedding to Meghan Markle, they were forced to earn bread for their families themselves.
Kate Middleton (left) has enough to do, but strictly speaking she doesn't have a comparable job to Princess Beatrice (in blue), Princess Eugenie (right) or Peter Phillips (photomontage).

While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped away from royal duties in 2020 to pursue their own path in the United States, a host of other royals are also pursuing full-time careers.
The Princess of Wales no longer has time for this, but even before her wedding to Prince William as commoner Kate Middleton (41), she had no notable career path on her CV, in contrast to these hard-working blue-bloods.
