@Tinkrbl44 - This is getting way off topic, but you continue to say the Royal Family is funded by the taxpayers. A little research would show that that is not true.
King George III voluntarily surrendered the hereditary revenues of the Crown in return for payments called the Civil List. This is normally calculated at 15% of total revenue.
However, even that isn't the whole story.
By 2002 there were eight recipients of parliamentary annuities, all receiving a combined total of £1.5 million annually. Between 1993 and 2012 the Queen voluntarily refunded the cost of these annuities to the Treasury.
The Sovereign Grant Act 2011 abolished all of these other than that received by the Duke of Edinburgh. Subsequently, the living costs of the members of the royal family who carry out official duties, including Princess Anne, the Duke of York (Andrew), and the Earl and Countess of Wessex (Edward and Sophie). have mainly been met through the Queen's income from the Duchy of Lancaster.
It's not a simple topic, but it's certainly not a case of the "taxpayer" funding the Royal Family.
You may think the Royal Family (the Monarchy) is outdated or unnecessary, but Americans have no say in the matter. Anymore than they have a say in who funds our political leaders.
