Maizie, we are not taught Welsh history in Wales, so blessed to have the English tell us how it is
As far as I understand it the Wales was attached to the English crown through some mediaeval skulduggery and has remained so ever since. I am perfectly happy to have a lesson in Welsh history to show me that this isn't so. I was born and brought up in England, which, I suppose, makes me English, but I don't particularly subscribe to the 'my country right or wrong' school of thought. I am perfectly well aware that the English did some horrendous things to the Welsh, the Irish and the Scots. If I were 'Welsh' I would probably be a paid up member of Plaid Cymru, if I were 'Scots' I'd probably be a Scots Nationalist (like my 'Scottish' nephew, born in Scotland of 'English' parents). I'm agnostic about this.
The tax payer does pay for the windsors, look it up
Well, I've checked again.
First result, Wikipedia
The British royal family is financed mainly by the hereditary revenues of the Crown.[1

Another result says It comes from the treasury and it's funded by taxpayers, according to the BBC.

But the BBC report linked to actually says:
The Crown Estate has delivered a record £304.1m to the Treasury after the value of its portfolio rose 9.7% to £12bn.
The payout by the estate, which owns London's Regent Street and the entire UK seabed, was up from £285m.
It comes ahead of a review of the Sovereign Grant - taxpayers' money given to the Queen by the Treasury.

Now, technically, all money from the Treasury might be regarded as 'taxpayers' money, in that the money 'belongs' to the UK (though where that leaves non-taxpayers I'm not altogether sure) but money received from the Crown Estate is not money raised through taxation; it's profits made from the administration of the crown estates.
As with any historical 'fact' the rights and wrongs of the monarchy and its funding can be debated but you can't turn money raised from the profits of administering an estate into money raised by taxation.
