Slash The Monarch's Benefits

Iain Duncan Smith is an advocate of slashing the amount of money the disabled & unemployed can receive from the state.
I'd like him to consider serious cuts in the amount the royal family can receive in their benefits.
Perhaps a cap of £23,000 per year would be appropriate.

Why is this important?

The Queens Sovereign Grant for 2014-15 was £37.9 million, although this is a drop in the ocean according to republic.org.uk which estimates that "When all [the] hidden expenditure is included, the real cost of the monarchy to British taxpayers is likely to be over £299m annually".

There is no way this can be seen as value for money, especially while the most vulnerable in our society are facing the prospect of an even more savage cap in the amount a household can receive in what (for the most part) is a vital, and necessary, lifeline.
