It's actually unfair on the people expected to become king/queen. They may not really want (or be suitable) to be in Government.

Ultimately they have no legitimacy or power, so they're a bit of an acting role these days.

Also unfair on their relatives, especially the younger siblings of the heir apparent. Harry gets a lot of crap for not wanting to be a working royal. Meghan likewise gets a lot of crap for allegedly pressuring Harry out of the royal family. Once George was born, Harry had only slightly better odds of being the King than I do, which are mathematically insignificant. He's fourth in line behind his nephews and niece. Once George marries and has kids, not only are Harry and his issue pretty much a non-issue in the order of succession, but Archie and Lilibet are out as well.  What incentive does Harry have to take part in the royal family?
