  • The Monarchy
    The Monarchy • Elizabeth II, in full Elizabeth Alexandra Mary , officially Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of her other realms and territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith • (born April 21, 1926, London, England), queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from February 6, 1952. 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. http://www.royal.gov.uk/MonarchUK/HowtheMonarchyworks/HowtheMonarchyworks.aspx Queen and Government • As Head of State The Queen has to remain strictly neutral with respect to political matters, unable to vote or stand for election.
