Do Commonwealth citizens taxes help pay for the British monarchy?
No they do not. Countries such as India are republics, and the Queen is only symbolically Head of the Commonwealth. However, countries such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand all have the Queen as head of state (however they are all independent, and since 1931, have they own separate monarchies. The Queen is the common head of state of the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and 12 other countries). These countries would pay depending on the situation for the Queen (but not the British monarchy – only Britain pays for that). For example, if the Queen is in Canada or visiting another country as Queen of Canada, then Canada would pay. If she is acting as Queen of the UK, then Britain would pay the costs. If she is taking a flight somewhere as Queen of Australia, then Australia would pay.
