31. Uh, no they aren't

The Royal Family gets about two million a year from the civil list but for years now, they've turned around and given it straight back again. They're rich because they own half of Yorkshire, most of Lancashire and quite a lot of Norfolk. Yes, the country pays for the upkeep on the palaces but they're historic so we'd be paying for that anyway. Finally, you might want to consider that being a "subject" is only abhorrent if you've decided it is. Not everyone is or wants to be American.
