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 Queen 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.
