All the Times the Royal Family Has Been on the Other Side of the Media

Rather than follow his brothers into a long-term military career, Prince Edward favored media and the arts. After working for Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Really Useful Theatre Company, Edward set up his own television production company in 1993, making 30 half-hour programs called Crown and Country and a documentary on the restoration of Windsor Castle, before closing the company in 2002 to focus on royal duties.

Kate studied photography as part of her degree and was a still-life photographer for her parents' website, so it's no surprise that she is still a keen snapper. She always documents her royal tours and some of her pictures from hers and William's Diamond Jubilee tour of Asia were released publicly. Three sets of pictures she has taken of her children have also been publicly released, so there's sure to be more to come.

Sophie had been working in PR for quite some time before she met Prince Edward, spending four years at Capital Radio and then setting up her own PR company in 1996. The company represented assorted luxury goods and travel clients, but she shut up shop in 2002 to focus exclusively on royal duties.

Beatrice took up the junior role of coordinating producer at Sony Pictures in January 2014, but her salary (revealed to be around $28,000) was leaked by the Sony hackers in the December of that year, and she left the company shortly afterward. It wasn't the first time Beatrice's profile curtailed a media role. Back in 2008, she was set to do work experience at the Financial Times, but the information was leaked and it didn't happen.
