A number of successful European royal family members have moved to working as civilians but there are those who face accusations.

Prince Harry and his wife on January 13 were accepted by the Queen to withdraw from the royal family. Harry and Meghan made it clear they did not want their new life dependent on public funds and would make money on their own. In neighboring England, royal family work is not uncommon.

Prince Constantijn, brother of the Dutch King, and his wife work for a global research center and work part-time for the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Prince Constantijn rarely attended events as royal members.

Prince Constantijn's brother, Prince Friso, works for a uranium enrichment company after obtaining an aviation engineering degree. Friso died in 2012 because of an avalanche during a holiday in the Austrian Alps.

Royal members of paid Dutch jobs do not receive a pension. Dutch King Willem-Alexander still works as a passenger plane pilot for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, but he describes it as a hobby rather than a job.

In Norway, Princess Martha Louise, the eldest son of King Harald V, gave up royal status after her marriage in 2002, when she wanted to focus on her own career. However, she faced allegations of taking advantage of the old title for profit.

Together with her boyfriend, the American magician Durek Verrett, she held seminars last year called "The Princess and the Wizard". They promise to take those on a journey of "self-discovery to reveal to you a divine ego."

After being criticized, she apologized and promised not to use the royal title in future work. Louise then created a new Instagram account for work projects. "I am simply Martha Louise. Let's explore life and adventure together," she wrote in the first post.

Although entangled in controversy and giving up royal status, observer James Taylor said she continued to appear with her family at a number of events. "She's been criticized quite a lot but she's still close to her family," he said.

Christopher O'Neill, husband of Princess Madeleine - the youngest son of the King of Sweden, refused to accept the royal title when they married in 2013, so that he could continue his career.

O'Neill, a British-American, continues to work in the financial industry, while his wife performs royal duties and works with nonprofit funds. He appeared alongside members of the royal family on important occasions.

Royal Swedish expert Roger Lundgren said O'Neill was not criticized for not accepting the title. On the contrary, if O'Neill receives the title while continuing to work in the financial industry, "there will be a lot of problems".

The children of Princess Madeleine and O'Neill will also make their own money, after the Swedish King last year eliminated 5 of the 7 grandchildren (except the children of Princess Victoria, heir to the throne) from the privileged list. royal rights. They no longer had to perform royal duties but were not entitled to a pension.

Princess Spain Cristina is the first member of the royal family of this country to have a paid job. Her father gave her the title Duchess of Palma de Mallorca when she married former Olympic handball player Inaki Urdangarin in 1997. She moved to live in Geneva in 2013.

However, her brother, King Felipe VI, stripped the title in 2015 when she was about to stand trial on charges of fraud and embezzlement involving her husband.

Princess Cristina was later determined to be unrelated to her husband's scandal but Urdangarin was sentenced in 2017 for using the Nonos Institute's non-profit sports fund to seize millions of EUR, becoming the first member of the royal family. Hispanic family goes to prison.

Cristina has recently worked for a charity fund run by La Caixa Bank and the Aga Khan Foundation. She did not perform royal duties and never appeared at events with royalty, Lundgren said.
