The Benefits of Monarchy
A Summary of some of the many benefits of our modern Constitutional Monarchy
Our modern Constitutional Monarchy gives us a King who is:
- an impartial symbolic Head of State above politics, commercial and factional interests
- a focus for national unity, national awards and honours and national institutions
- a Head of State whom we share with 16 other independent countries because he is their King too and that links us all together amazingly and most valuably
- the Head of the Commonwealth because all 53 countries recognise him as this and so he is a special unifying symbol for them too
- the centrepiece of colourful non-political ceremonial and national celebrations
- separate from the Head of Government (the Prime Minister), unlike in some countries where the two are combined, often with difficulty
- able to give impartial non-political support to the work of a wide range of different types of organizations, faiths, charities, artists, craftsmen etc
- a Head of State completely under the democratic control of Parliament but not having to change every few years in divisive elections
- at the head of a Royal Family who can share the duties and represent the Monarch
- a constant, lasting symbolic head of the country with links back through our whole history and assured lines of continuity into the future
- a worldwide well-known and respected symbol of our country carrying out State Visits and goodwill tours in other countries.
