How can the agreed income be cut? The Govenment get 100% then hand over 15% as per the agreement.
Then problem people percieve is that the income from the Crown Estates has risen far above inflation and the Government is making millions per year from it.
By the same token the Monarch's 15% is worth more as well. Republicans only look at the headline figure paid, not where it comes from.
No "Taxpayers" money is paid to the Monarch.
