It's not that he controls the finances. It's that he IS the finances. Everything in the UK is his. He doesn't owe taxes because he owns everything to begin with. The British Crown IS the British Pound. He does not just wear the crown. As long as he lives, he IS the Crown.
Aaaaaaannnnnnd he's a gay paedophile so there's that. He must know the people are not happy so if they want to topple the crown, then they can't just imprison some lieutenant. He knows his head is the crown.
