The Queen and the Royal Family cost the UK taxpayer £37.4m in the last
financial
year, her financial public accounts reveal.
The cost, equivalent to 62p per person in the UK, rose 4.2% over the
previous year,
accountants said.

WHY should scotland pay for an Engilish Queen?

She is of course the monarch of the UK hence as much a Scottish Queen as an
English one. By parentage she is as much, if not more Scottish than English.
The Scottish or English angle is a red herring. Why anyone would want any
monarch baffles me!
