"Who we all pay for" is perfectly good standard English. Sorry to have to apprise you of that, Nigel. You'll be telling me next that I can't tell you that the Great Storm of 1987 decimated areas of Epping Forest.... As for the regal finances, I note the totally unbiased nature of your source. Bwahahaha!   

In fact, if you go back far enough, all the royal land holdings and property were stolen from the people, no less that Robert Mugabe's amazing palace that was so lavish that it threw Zimbabwe into poverty. I know that the modern royals can't help that, but the very least they could do is to act with a bit more humility and refuse to take any more taxpayers' money. I doubt that such a move would pitch them into food banks or force them to huddle round one-bar electric fires.
