Charles took up full time duties after being told to give up military life by the Queen - because he was the Heir to the throne
Anne took up full time royal duties when she ceased 3 day eventing (her early career if you like) and after Peter and Zara were born
It seems to me that the Cambridges are following Anne's example, and as William is not Heir to the throne, he did not have to follow the example of Charles. Maybe both the Queen and Charles learnt that taking up full time duties early is not a good thing (Philip didn't like leaving the navy either; and Andrew has been rather lost since he did).
Harry could follow the example of Duke of Kent - serve in the Army for 20 years and combine with some royal duties.
