@@sparx180 the queen dosen't have to pay a cent of tax if she doesn't want to. She does voluntarily pay just enough taxes to make herself look good. However there is no reason to believe that she's paying her fair share as her tax returns are effectively top secret. If the queen was paying her fair share then the first thing she would do is send her tax return to the times of London. On top of all of that there is no reason to believe that Charles or who ever comes after him will continue to pay any taxes. A recent report said the the royal family is more secretive than MI-5. The British freedom of information act specifically exempts the entire royal family from all freedom of information act requests. So basically the royal family has a license to steal.
