Monarchy in the United Kingdom
Monarchy is the oldest form of government in the United Kingdom. In a monarchy, a king or queen is the head of state. In the UK the sovereign may be the head of state, but he or she doesn’t hold the power to make and pass legislation. This duty resides with an elected Parliament. Even though the sovereign no longer performs an executive role, he or she continues to play an important part in the nation.
King Charles III
Camilla Parker Bowles, Duchess of Cornwall
What happens at a coronation?
A coronation is the ceremony at which the monarch is formally crowned. It takes place after a period of mourning for the previous sovereign. Elizabeth II became Queen on 6 February 1952 on the death of her father King George VI, but was not crowned until 2 June 1953.
The monarch is the head of state
It is said that the King (Queen) is the ruler, but he only reigns. The actual ruling is done by his/her government and, according to their constitution he is obliged to follow his/her government’s advice. The monarch undertakes constitutional and representational duties.

• Approve orders in council.
• Receive incoming and outgoing ambassadors.
• Make host of other appointments
• Has a weekly audience with the Prime Minister
• Receives daily boxes of state papers so they can be signed.
State Opening and the King's Speech
Open new sessions of parliament
Give royal assent to bills
The monarch is also head of nation
The King/Queen acts as national identity, unity, and pride. He/She gives a sense of stability. This role has been continually fulfilled through speeches such as the Queen’s address to the nation during the covid and the annual broadcast on Christmas through giving honours to recognise public and voluntary service, and through visits to the armed forces, schools, hospitals, charities, and local organizations.
Head of state
The King is also head of state of 14 other countries around the world, known as the realms: they include Australia, Canada, Jamaica and New Zealand. And the King is Head of the Commonwealth, a voluntary association of 54 states, mainly former British colonies and dependencies.
The UK parliament
It is composed of a two house system
The UK parliament is composed by the house of commons and the house of lords. Both houses work on behalf of the United Kingdom citizens to check the work of the Government, make and shape laws, and to debate current issues of the country.
The house of commons is also responsible for granting money to the government by approving bills (to raise taxes). The decisions usually must be approved in both houses to be made effective. This way the two-chamber system acts as checks and balances for both houses.
House of Commons
The commons are publicly elected and is the party with the largest number of members. The members debate the big political issues of the day and proposals for new laws. It is one of the key places where principal figures of the parties, like the Prime Minister, work. The commons are responsible for taking decisions on financial bills.
The UK public elects 650 members of parliament also known as MPs to represent their interests and concerns. They consider and propose new laws and can question the ministers about current issues either in the Commons Chamber or in committees.
The Leader of the House is responsible for delivery of the government’s legislative programme and chairs the Parliamentary Business and Legislation Cabinet Committee.
Leader of the House
The role involves managing the business of the House of Commons in close cooperation with the Chief Whip, making a weekly business statement to the House and facilitating motions and debate in the Chamber. The Leader of the House acts as the government’s representative in the House (by statute sitting on the House of Commons Commission, Public Accounts Commission, and the Speaker’s Committee on the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority); and as the House’s representative in government, including by contributing to the civil service’s efforts to build parliamentary capability and by taking up members’ requests for help on ministerial correspondence and questions.
