The Royal family still don't earn anything, they are living on state handouts as you've just explained
Another shock to your system Jim. Just as there are vast numbers of people in the UK not being taxed on their bedrooms (You weren't responsible for that appalling and equally misleading and inaccurate Jockinese "humourous" song whingeing about the Bedroom Tax were you?) There are vast numbers of people and organisations who earn from investments and from property - if you are retired Jim and draw a work related pension, that is mostly likely where the company that pays you it gets its money to pay you.
The Crown Estate IS the property of the Sovereign.
For Tax Year 2016/2017 The Crown Estate contributed £328.4 million to the State so I cannot see where your claims about state handouts come from. Over the last ten years The Crown Estate has paid £2.6 Billion to the Treasury.
"Only fools and horses work" - an old cockney saying implying that if you're smart you'll find a way of making a living without resorting to hard graft.
