For example , did Queen Victoria ever get done for stealing a tin of Salmon from Marks & Spencers?

Well the only royal taken to court is The Princess Royal. Princess Anne for driving offenses. She was caught speeding

not for your basic run-of-the-mill crime. Charles I was not being tried for a felony or misdemeanor.
It was a shocking thing in the late 1800s when the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII) was brought into court twice as a witness (the reasons escape me; I want to say something about cheating in 1 & a divorce for the other). But I believe these were both before he was King.
Up through the mid 20th century, it was probably unthinkable to drag the actual monarch into court to be put on trial. This is not to say that they were completely innocent in all matters, just that they could rarely be called to account. The royal family usually fell in the same category.

Yes Charles 1
Furious that Parliament continued to countenance Charles as a ruler, the army marched on Parliament and conducted "Pride's Purge" (named after the commanding officer of the operation, Thomas Pride) in December 1648. Troops arrested 45 Members of Parliament (MPs) and kept 146 out of parliament. Only 75 were allowed in, and then only at the army's bidding. This Rump Parliament was ordered to set up a high court of justice in order to try Charles I for treason in the name of the people of England.

Not Since King Charles I no.
The Queen can not be prosecuted as The Queen (a case of The Crown vs The Crown has a few constitutional complications). However she can be prosecuted as a private individual i.e as Elizabeth Mountbatten

Most of them should have been but because of our craven sucking up to these parasites, unfortunately none of them have since Charles 1 and he was lucky that he was only executed for the crimes he committed.
