End all tax-payer payments to the Royal family
Considering the financial state of the UK and with costs being cut left, right and centre is it perhaps time we cut one of the largest expenses? The Queen receives a HUGE payment from the tax payers of the United Kingdom on top of profits made from her own private lands. Both in the millions.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. The Sovereign Grant is fixed at a percentage of the income from the Crown Estate so is already self-funded.
