I'm pretty sure they are financially set enough that they dont need to use their fame to make a living
Im not taking a side in re to whether or not she deserves privacy, that is a complex issue.. but in re to whether they ‘need to use their fame to make a living’- that’s literally all their job is.. the British royals have zero governing power (as far as i am aware).. the entire “royal” thing is a marketing campaign , and i forget the exact numbers, but between Buckingham Palace and all the other royal landmarks, and functions- they drive millions of people to visit London and surrounding every year.. The prince, princes, king of England, queen of England et al- they literally make a living as PR figureheads and famous marketing figures .

It's a very confusing thing, but the UK is a constitutional monarchy.

The British Monarchy is a constitutional monarchy, where the Sovereign is Head of State, but the ability to make and pass legislation resides with an elected Parliament.
The Queen, at one point, could use emergency powers to completely dissolve parliament and have it reseated. The monarchy still possesses some powers, though it's limited to what's drawn up by parliament. Like I said, it's confusing as hell and I'm not fully up to date on the monarchy's current power.
