This is for topical issues effecting our fair world... you can quit snickering anytime. Note: It is the desire of the leadership of SFDebris Conglomerate that all posters maintain a civil and polite bearing in this forum, regardless of how you feel about any particular issue.

If anyone of them wanted out, I'd trade. They can have my life, I take theirs. I'll be happy easily.
They can keep theirs. The material trappings aren't worth it, I'd rather have my life.
I agree. You could argue, all of us have more freedom than they do to whatever we want. That's just ignoring their celebrity status. Built in rules, regulations, etc they have to follow. Events they have to attend. Duties they have to do.
You could argue that is part of the job, but their job is 24/7 where as the moment I am off the clock I can do whatever I want. Even not responding to work emails off hours.
And you can quit your job, and be free of its requirements. (Some jobs have long-term commitments, like classified knowledge that you can't share, or NDAs that persist.)
The royals might refuse positions, but they can't stop being royals, or requiring constant security. They'd be kidnapped and held for ransom, at the very least, if they tried living normal lives.
Escaping that isn't, technically, impossible. But it'd be pretty difficult.
