Could the royal families of England possibly give the taxpayers back the huge wealth they have received from the English treasury? Why should the queen and the other royalty sit on all this wealth when the people are suffering? Royalty, please do the right thing and return the booty/loot to it's rightful owners, the tax payers. It is possible for even royalty to get off their royalness and get a job to support themselves like everyone else has to do. It might even be worthwhile earning your own money, rather than having tons of money given to you. Think about it. You don't want to be like the thieves of wall street.
