Monarchs of Britain

The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy, in which the monarch shares power with a constitutionally organized government. All political power rests with the prime minister (the head of government) and the cabinet, and the monarch must act on their advice. As the monarchy is constitutional, the monarch is limited to functions such as bestowing honours and appointing the prime minister, which are performed in a non-partisan manner.

The reigning king or queen is the country’s head of state and Head of the British Armed Forces. Though the ultimate executive authority over the government is still formally by and through the royal prerogative, these powers may only be used according to laws enacted in Parliament and, in practice, within the constraints of convention and precedent. The Government of the United Kingdom is known as His (Her) Majesty’s Government.
