English monarchy
The English monarchy is a system of government where a royal family, led by a king or queen, serves as the head of state. Historically, monarchs had absolute power, but today they have a constitutional role, meaning their powers are limited by law and the democratic government. The monarchy plays a ceremonial role, representing the nation at public events and promoting national unity. The current monarch, as of 2023, is King Charles III. The monarchy has a rich history, and its traditions continue to be an important aspect of British culture and identity.
