The entire purpose of the Royal Family's existence as a modern entity is tourism and spectacle... their entire continuation rests solely on public interest. That comes with the downside of this negative press attention alongside the positive. If they're not up for playing that game they can step away... they can dismantle the active monarchy... and then I will wholeheartedly agree that if they want their privacy they're entitled to it.
Until then they have a pact with the devil and this is part of it.
