British royalty
British royalty refers to the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom and their family, serving as a symbolic figurehead and representing national unity and tradition. The monarchy is a constitutional institution, meaning the queen or king's powers are limited by law and they primarily perform ceremonial duties. The royal family includes various members with specific roles, titles, and responsibilities, often involved in charitable work and public engagements. While they hold no substantive political power, they play a significant cultural and historic role, embodying continuity, tradition, and national identity within the UK's constitutional framework.
