1992 - UK -- Queen Pays Tax
1992 : Major reforms in how royalty is funded in the United Kingdom are announced including
1. The Queen of England will now pay income tax
2. The number of Royals who receive taxpayers money has been reduced to the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Queen Mother.
Much of this is because of the public concern about the rising cost of the monarchy and some of the stories in tabloid press about minor royals living off the British tax payer.
