Because neither of us is heir to the throne, with the responsibility of carrying out hundreds of public engagements.

Given the job description I'd rather have my life than his, especially as he only has the life his duties allow.

He didn't choose the family he was born into, and since his birth he has been trained for a role not of his choice either.
