The fact is the positions of Victoria and William are totally different. To compare the two is to compare apples with oranges.
When I read some of the comments on the DM or here or on Twitter I am truly puzzled. In my own life, my group of friends (mid to late 20s, early 30s, working class, utterly normal people) pay no attention whatsoever to the Royals except when it comes to William, Kate and Harry. They see William and Harry as exceptional in having actual jobs, as opposed to what the full-time royals do, which they simply don't see as proper work. Kate does royal duties while bringing up soon to be 2 small children. Which is basically what we were told she would do in the early years of her marriage way back from when they got engaged.
This obsession with being a 'full-time royal' or 'embracing royal duties' is something that only seems to exercise royal watchers. No-one else is that bothered.
