There's a well known story of Elizabeth, after becoming Queen, attending one of those Royal Variety charity performances with her family, including The Queen Mum in the next box. Elizabeth was chatting away during somebody's performance and TQM leaned over the box railing and hissed "Elizabeth! Who do you think you are!"

The Royal Family has the attitude that anyone who works for them should be proud to work there for crap wages and that once they leave they'll be able to parlay their time in Royal service into much more lucrative gigs. That may work for the higher ups, but I doubt the laundry and scullery maids at Buckingham Palace go on to big money positions after they leave Royal service.
