Why does it matter if he is only giving charitites money to aviod taxes, which I'm sure isn't his only reason. I mean, they still need the money, and the are still getting it... Good on him for donating it I say, as there are probably many rich people who don't bother!

*gets off my little soap-box now!*

how does the queen get her money? Sorry for changing the subject but it puzzles me. I know she has a lot of money from all the past monarchs before her and a bit form the government..but she doesn't DO anything, so how can she be so rich?!!

Yeah I know charity still is good, even if they avoid taxes like that, only mentioned it to state that he doesn't give money only, to help.
And surely the Queen should have a couple of legal businesses too.

What sort of legal businesses? Some of the royal family open things every now and then, but i haven't heard of the queen doing visits of openings.
