David Dimbleby has criticised the Royal Family's "antiquated" privileges, including not being required to pay tax legally. The former BBC Question Time presenter said it is "absurd" that the royals "stand outside taxation laws" despite their vast wealth.

Although the Royal Family is not legally obligated to pay income or capital gains tax on the Sovereign Grant, as it is not considered private income, the Monarch and the Prince of Wales have voluntarily paid tax since 1993. This includes income from their private estates as well as capital gains and inheritance taxes. However, Mr Dimbleby, 87, has called out the Royal Family's financial and legal affairs.
