A couple of things – which will make me sound disingenuous:

1)   I bet whichever way it gets paid WE will end up paying for it – if we haven’t already through their so called “inherited” but actually “acquired” land..
2)   They always make such a big deal about charity work done by the Royals like it makes them into some sort of mega beings who are morally better than the rest of us.  This is of course rubbish – its their job – we pay them – to do stuff like this.
3)   £10k a month is nothing to these people – its hardly even worth a news story.

actyally yokel if you care to check the kents recieve not a penny from the state  or crown and have to work for a living, the Queen has been paying their rent for the last few years out of her own income , not the state,and this arrangement ends in 2010.where they will have to pay themselves at index linked rent,soits cost you not a penny.

I think being called "Princess Michael Of Kent" does afford you privileges that the rest of us simply don't get unless you are born or married into it.
