Yep that is how it works sadly.
Strangely though when we lived in Holland the Royal family was much more low key & respected more for it. The Saxe - Coburgs now Windsors have courted the press, they can't live with or without them & a whole industry lives off this relationship.

Prince Andrew whatever the truth seemingly above the law and Harry crying poverty with £30 million in the bank doesn't help them.
