Monarch of the United Kingdom

The Monarch of the United Kingdom is the reigning king or queen who serves as the country's ceremonial head of state. Their role is largely symbolic, representing stability and continuity, while political power is exercised by elected officials. The monarch performs duties such as opening parliament, granting honors, and engaging in charitable work, but does not control government policies. The monarch's position is hereditary, passed down through generations within the royal family. Currently, King Charles III is the monarch, embodying tradition and national identity, while the UK’s political system is run by elected leaders in Parliament.
