Does the royal family (UK) pay taxes like ordinary citizens?

i've always wondered if they have to pay any of the taxes that apply to everyone else...

it's so wrong to give people all this privilege for doing nothing! seriously, for the good of humankind, get rid of the monarchy!

Yuh-huh. But, they don't have to pay for a bunch of other stuff. For example, Prince Harry came over to Australia for part of his 'gap year.' The bloke didn't even do so much as open a school sports day, yet the AUS Government had to pay $600,000 Aussie dollars for his security needs. Pah!
