He's the first royal to totally jack it in since it became a "celebrity thing" rather than an "official thing"... They're probably worried about it setting a precedent for future generations (Li'l George and beyond) wanting a lot more individual freedom and being more inclined to step away.
Though of course, actual direct heirs to the throne have turned it down in the past so it's hardly a new thing.
