The Role of the Monarchy

Monarchy is the oldest form of government in the United Kingdom. In a monarchy, a king or queen is Head of State. The British monarchy is known as a constitutional monarchy. This means that, while The Sovereign is Head of State, the ability to make and pass legislation resides with an elected Parliament. Although the British Sovereign no longer has a political or executive role, he or she continues to play an important part in the life of the nation. As Head of State, The Monarch undertakes constitutional and representational duties which have developed over one thousand years of history. In addition to these State duties, The Monarch has a less formal role as 'Head of Nation'. The Sovereign acts as a focus for national identity, unity and pride; gives a sense of stability and continuity; officially recognises success and excellence; and supports the ideal of voluntary service. In all these roles The Sovereign is supported by members of their immediate family.

The Queen is Head of State in the United Kingdom. Her official title in the UK is “Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith”.

As a constitutional monarch, the Queen does not ‘rule’ the country, but fulfils important ceremonial and formal roles with respect to the Parliament of the UK, and devolved assemblies of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

As Head of State, the Queen undertakes constitutional and representational duties which have developed over one thousand years of history. There are inward duties, with the Queen playing a part in State functions in Britain. Parliament must be opened, Orders in Council have to be approved, Acts of Parliament must be signed, and meetings with the Prime Minister must be held. There are also outward duties of State, when the Queen represents Britain to the rest of the world. For example, the Queen receives foreign ambassadors and high commissioners, entertains visiting Heads of State, and makes State visits overseas to other countries, in support of diplomatic and economic relations.

In addition to her constitutional duties, the Queen has an important role in public. A national figurehead, the Queen provides a focus for identity, offers recognition of achievement of all kinds, and supports the ideals of public and charitable work. Her Majesty acts a focus for national unity and pride by means of regular visits in the UK, her other realms, the Commonwealth and overseas destinations.

The Queen recognises excellence and achievement. This takes place in many ways: through royal visits which provide a ‘seal of approval’ to a charity or community, through the award of honours and prizes to outstanding individuals, and through messages sent to those celebrating special birthdays or wedding anniversaries.

The Queen and the royal family also play an important part in the public and voluntary sector. Through involvement with hundreds of charities, military units and other organisations, they promote the ideal of service to others.
