Does Queen Elizebeth pay for all those royal trappings, the horses and carriages, the guards and servants or are they covered by the people's taxes?

The Queen receives money from the people's taxes. She pays for all of her needs from this money.
Its really no different from any ordinary person who works for the government - we get paid from the public purse, and we buy what we need from that money. Is there something wrong with that ?

The Crown Estates more than cover the Queen's personal expenses including staff (they raise over £1 billion for the treasury, the Queen receives a fraction of that). When the Queen carries out events on behalf of the nation the Government pay.
